Abstract:
We present a complex angioplasty case in which a coronary guidewire became trapped between a calcified nodule and a newly implanted stent, leading to wire rupture and subsequent accidental stent extraction. This case underscores the importance of intracoronary imaging and highlights the potential procedural challenges and rare complications in modern percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
