AB The  technical  goal  of  coronary  stenting  should  be  to  eliminate  or  lessen  ischemic  symptoms  in  the  short/intermediate  term  and  possibly  reduce  the  risk  of  death  or  myocardial  infarction,  while  not  exposing  the  patient  to  excess  short-  or  long-term  risk.  Yet  major  adverse  cardiac  events  (MACE)  occur  in  4%  to  20%  of  stented  sites  within  a  year,1,2  and  stent  underexpansion3,4  and  axial  misalignment  (“geographic  miss”)5  account  for  nearly  half  of  these.  Although  a  discussion  of  choosing  percutaneous  intervention  instead  of  bypass  surgery  or  optimal  medical  therapy  alone  is  beyond  the  scope  of  this  chapter,  we  will  address  various  issues  to  be  considered  to  provide  the  patient  with  an  optimal  technical  result.
