Successful retrieval of transradially delivered unexpanded coronary stent from the left main coronary artery

Indian Heart J. 2002 Nov-Dec;54(6):715-6.

Abstract

Stent dislodgment during percutaneous coronary intervention is a rare complication. We report a case of successful retrieval of a dislodged stent from the left main coronary artery. It was retrieved via the transradial route using a 6 F coronary guiding catheter supported by an inflated percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty balloon distal to the stent.
