Abstract:

Stent dislodgment from its delivery catheter is a rare yet clinically important entity in cardiac catheterization. We report a highly unusual case of stent loss and subsequent localization in the guiding catheter. Our hypothesized mechanism of stent dislodgment should be recognized by the medical community.
