Abstract

In a single-center experience, initial failure of attempted stent delivery was relatively infrequent (2.7%) but was associated with increased need for urgent coronary bypass surgery. Delivery failure was more likely with coiled stents and dislodgment from the delivery balloon was more likely with hand-mounted or radiolucent stents.
