Dislodgement of the Fully Expanded Stent and the Management of This Complication by Using Crushing Technique

Özet

Dislodgement of the coronary stent during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a rare and serious complication. This complication usually occurs when an undeployed stent unintentionally dislocates from the balloon. A few cases of fully expanded stent dislodgement have been reported in the literature. If not managed properly, it may cause major adverse events and even death. We reported an unusual case of a 39-year-old male who presented with fully expended stent dislodgement in the mid right coronary artery following retrieving of deflated stent balloon during secondary PCI.
