Abstract

Complications due to equipment failure during deplo yment of stents are rare but potentially serious. We report a case of a mal functioning Multi-Link delivery system and the successful treatment of the resulting complications. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 47:58-60, 1999, (C) 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
