The need to improve stent deliverability has led to the development of thinner and more flexible stents. However, there is concern about decreased longitudinal strength. The number of longitudinal stent deformation reports has dramatically increased. We report a case of stent longitudinal deformation after thromboaspiration through a new generation platinum chrome bare metal stent. Images show an "intussusception effect," an extreme form of the previously described "concertina deformation," as the mechanism of shortening. Since stent technology is constantly evolving, newer devices will probably be designed to have less susceptibility to longitudinal stent deformation.
