title: Emergency surgical extraction of rota ablator from the stent in the left anterior descending artery.
abstract: Trapping of interventional devices used to treat in-stent restenosis is rarely reported in the literature. Among those is a trapped rota ablation wire causing longitudinal stent deformation, sometime requiring another stent deployment onto the collapse stent. A Rota ablator getting stuck into the stent is very rare, and a lethal complication. We report a case of 79-year-old gentleman who underwent rota ablation for in-stent restenosis. During the procedure, the rota ablator got stuck into the stent resulting in haemodynamic compromise. To our knowledge, this is the first case where a rota ablator got stuck into the stent requiring surgical intervention.
