Fix and pull technique for retrieval of intracoronary unexpanded-stent entrapment

During left main (LM) bifurcation PCI using T and small protrusion (TAP) technique, after deployment of LM-left anterior descending (LAD) stent, left circumflex (LCx) stent was entangled at LM ostium with balloon and wire slippage. Ping-pong (dual) guide catheters were used to simultaneously fix the LM-LAD stent and snare the trapped stent. This technique proved effective in retrieving the lost stent and minimizing LM stent deformation.
