Three cases of non-surgical treatment of stent loss during percutaneous coronary intervention

Area of Science:

• Cardiology
• Interventional Cardiology
• Medical Devices

Background:

• Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting is a common treatment for ischemic heart disease.
• Stent loss during PCI is a rare but potentially severe complication.
• Complications of stent loss include bleeding, stent embolism, acute myocardial infarction, and death.

Purpose of the Study:

• To report on three cases of stent loss during PCI.
• To demonstrate the successful application of non-surgical methods for treating stent loss.
• To highlight the importance of prompt and appropriate management of stent loss.

Main Methods:

• Review of three clinical cases involving stent loss during PCI.
• Application of three distinct non-surgical treatment strategies.
• Detailed documentation of procedural outcomes and patient follow-up.

Main Results:

• All three cases of stent loss were successfully managed without surgical intervention.
• The non-surgical methods employed were effective in resolving the stent loss complication.
• Patients experienced favorable outcomes following the non-surgical treatments.

Conclusions:

• Non-surgical interventions can be effective in managing rare cases of stent loss during PCI.
• Prompt diagnosis and appropriate non-surgical treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.
• These cases suggest alternative management strategies for stent loss, potentially avoiding more invasive procedures.
