Transradial retrieval of a dislodged stent from the left main coronary artery

Walid Ahmar et al. J Invasive Cardiol. 2008 Oct.

Abstract

We report a case of successful transradial retrieval of a dislodged and mechanically distorted coronary artery stent from the left main stem in an elderly male. Transradial percutaneous coronary intervention was undertaken to reconstruct a lesion in the left circumflex artery complicated by stent dislodgement. A microsnare was used to successfully retrieve the stent.
