Accidental retrieval of a fully deployed stent: A case report.
We describe a case of accidental retrieval of a fully deployed stent in ostial left anterior descending (LAD) artery. This occurred while attempting stent delivery in obtuse marginal (OM) artery due to entrapment of a wire which inadvertently had passed through the struts of ostial LAD stent. The proposed mechanism and recommendations to avoid this rare complication are discussed.
