Abstract

Coronary stent dislodgement with migration and/or embolization is a relatively rare
complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. In case of stent dislodgement or embolization in
the coronary artery without the coronary wire passing through the dislodged stent, retrieval with a snare
device is often the safest and the most effective procedure. We report a rare case of coronary stent dislodgement
in the culprit right coronary artery, its migration and embolization in the left coronary artery,
and successful retrieval with a short single-loop snare through a shortened guiding catheter.
