Abstract:
Entrapment and uncoiling of a guide wire are life-threatening and technically challenging complications during percutaneous coronary intervention. We present a case using a wire-cutting technique with the guidance of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to retrieve an entrapped and uncoiled guide wire under the stent struts in a calcified circumflex artery.
