This report demonstrates two specific complications that occurred during implantation of a Wiktor (Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, MN) coronary stent: stent shortening and elongation were observed and attributed to the unique coil structure of the device. Major cardiac events occurred during follow-up as a consequence of this stent deformation. Therefore, semiurgent bypass surgery should be considered to treat this complication.
