Percutaneous coronary angioplasty(PCI) has evolved from plain old balloon angioplasty(POBA) only to more challenging angioplasty in complex coronary artery disease(CAD) lesions as a result of continuous improvement of stent designs. However, every generation, or new type of stents, has advantages and complications related to the design of the stents which maybe be discovered only in the post-marketing period. Stent compression is a recent entity reportedly happening in a variety of stents and we wish to highlight our local experience with this phenomenon with a particular drug eluting coronary stent associated with coronary wire entrapment.
