Embolised Stent Into the Circumflex Coronary Artery During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Abstract

Dislodgement and embolisation of the new generation of coronary stents before deployment are rare. If it is impossible to withdraw the embolised stent from the coronary artery, the stent may be crushed into the side wall of the coronary artery with a balloon over a wire passed alongside the embolised stent.
