Stent Dislodgment and Retrieval During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

J Invasive Cardiol. 2022 Jul;34(7):E574-E575. doi: 10.25270/jic/22.00015.

Abstract

During PCI, stent entrapment and dislodgment in the coronary arteries is a rare but potentially fatal complication that can lead to emergent cardiac surgery. Percutaneous stent retrieval is an alternative way to solve this challenging complication while avoiding cardiac surgery.

Keywords: complication; goose neck; stent dislodgment; stent retrieval.
