title: Distal longitudinal deformation of a Synergy stent by jailed Rotawire guidewire.
abstract: Recent advances in stent technology have led to the development of thin strut platforms with fewer connectors. This has improved delivery but compromised strength, as illustrated by recent cases of longitudinal compression. We present an unusual case of longitudinal shortening at the distal end of a Synergy stent.
