Key Points Stent with reduced axial force have an increased risk of longitudinal stent deformation (LSD). Deep guidewire catheter intubation after ostial stent deployment or attempting to push a device through an already deployed stent are frequently encountered in patients with LSD. Optimization of longitudinal strength along with increasing knowledge of LSD will likely reduce the frequency of this complication.
