guide-wire-induced injury

I don't work into English, so I suppose it could be better phrased. but the important thing is that "ledare" refers to the guide-wire used during the PCI procedure.

I got a few Google hits for the exact phrase "guide-wire-induced injury", but they mostly seem to refer to intentional injury for research purposes. Possibly something like "lesion caused by the guide-wire", or some mix of those two suggestions.
