Abstract

Stent deformation/pseudofracture of the 7 crown Endeavor/Micro Driver platform occurred in 1.8% of cases that were post-dilated. Of these, 36% experience MACE. Deformation can be reproduced on the benchtop. Operators should be aware of the complication, and develop strategies to deal with it.
