| Abstract: | - Stent with reduced axial force have an increased risk of longitudinal stent deformation (LSD).
- Deep guidewire catheter intubation after ostial stent deployment or attempting to push a device through an already deployed stent are frequently encountered in patients with LSD.
- Optimization of longitudinal strength along with increasing knowledge of LSD will likely reduce the frequency of this complication.
