Summary
Managing stent dislodgement during complex coronary interventions requires vigilance. Early diagnosis and a stepwise approach are crucial for retrieving or expanding lost devices, especially with non-radiopaque scaffolds.
Area of Science:
- Interventional Cardiology
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- Coronary intervention techniques have advanced, enabling treatment of complex lesions.
- Increased procedural sophistication correlates with a higher risk of iatrogenic complications, including equipment failure.
- Stent dislodgement is a recognized complication requiring prompt management.
