Abstract
Two patients undergoing stent placement with the Palmaz-Schatz coronary stent delivery system experienced intracoronary stent embolization. Using a two-wire technique, the stents were successfully removed from the coronary circulation, and this allowed completion of the percutaneous revascularization procedure without any clinical sequelae. These two cases represent the first report of successful percutaneous retrieval of undeployed, retained intracoronary Palmaz-Schatz stents.
