Abstract

Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) have become a standard of treatment worldwide. Despite high safety rates, iatrogenic complications caused by stent dislodgements do exist in 0.21% of cases and most require emergency coronary artery by‐pass grafting (CABG). Here we present a case of a coronavirus disease 2019 positive 40‐year‐old male patient presenting with STEMI due to thrombotic lesions in his left coronary trunk. The patient is taken to PCI and stent placement. Stent dislodgement results in the need for emergency CABG and stent removal. Informed consent and ethics approval were obtained.
