Abstract

Coronary stent dislodgement is a very rare complication during the percutaneous coronary intervention. It is associated with significant morbidity, systemic or coronary embolization, acute myocardial infarction, emergency coronary artery bypass surgery, vascular access complications, cerebrovascular complications and death. A deployed stent dislodgement is even more rare. We report an unusual complication of a deployed stent dislodgement during retrieval of stent jailed side branch guidewire and retrieval from popliteal artery via snare method. Stent dislodgements usually occur with undeployed stents while retraction of the stent into the guiding catheter .Risk factors for stent loss and dislodgement are severe calcification, tortuosity, failed stent retraction into the guiding catheter and failure to cross the lesion. Stent dislodgement can be treated either surgically or percutaneously
