Abstract

We report a rare case of coronary stent dislodgement after percutaneous coronary intervention. This case demonstrates the value of two-dimensional and threedimensional transesophageal echocardiography in detecting the dislodged stent at the aortic root and may be beneficial in management.

Keywords: Coronary disease; Echocardiography; Percutaneous coronary intervention.
