Although stent dislodgement is a rare complication in interventional cardiology, its incidence has increased with the number of
percutaneous coronary interventions. Stent dislodgement is a risk-laden complication concerning morbidity and mortality, and the
management of embolized material can involve various techniques, including the snare technique, balloon retrieval with a small
balloon, twirling/wire entrapment technique, and surgical methods. This case report highlighted a 65-year-old male patient who
underwent coronary angiography for a diagnosis of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. During the procedure, stent dislodgement
occurred at the ostial left anterior descending artery/left main coronary artery distal region. The dislodged stents were successfully
retrieved using the snare technique. The report emphasized techniques that can be utilized for the retrieval of embolized material in
cases of stent dislodgement. |
