Abstract
We present a case where a Wiktor intracoronary stent was inserted for 'poor angiographic result' following balloon angioplasty. Despite appr opriate positioning and repeated dilation of the stent a suboptimal re sult was achieved because of plaque herniation through the stent. The case emphasizes that the choice of stent used is important and will be come more so as the number of choices available increases.
