Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention has been a major interventional medical development of our times, being a life-saving procedure in the setting of acute coronary syndrome, and providing significant improvements in quality of life for patients with chronic coronary syndromes. Complications of coronary intervention have continued to downtrend, facilitated by improvements in stent and wire technology, the aggressive use of antiplatelets, and the regular use of invasive anatomical and physiological assessments. The authors present the case of a challenging and rare procedural complication, that of stent delivery shaft fracture requiring emergency snare extraction.
