title: Unintentional extraction of an endothelialized bare metal stent.
abstract: The extraction of a previously endothelialized stent has been rarely reported in the literature. We report a case of a patient with unstable angina due to in-stent restenosis. During percutaneous coronary intervention, a stent was inadvertently dislodged in the ostium of the right coronary artery. Retrieval of the dislodged stent led to unintentional extraction of the previously endothelialized bare metal stent.
