title: Retrieval of dislodged coronary stent from left renal artery by gooseneck snare.
abstract: A rapamycin-eluting stent was dislodged during attempt of implantation at the proximal right coronary artery, which was found by fluoroscopy to have migrated into the anterior trunk of the left renal artery. We chose a 5 mm diameter Amplatz gooseneck snare and successfully retrieved the lost stent from the lodging vessel.
