Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 1999 May;47(1):58-60. doi: 10.1002/(SICI)1522-726X(199905)47:1<58::AID-CCD13>3.0.CO;2-B.

Abstract

The use of intracoronary stents has greatly impacted on the practice of interventional cardiology. Complications due to equipment failure during deployment of stents are rare but potentially serious. We report a case of a malfunctioning Multi-Link delivery system and the successful treatment of the resulting complications.
