A cathlab nightmare – Piggybacking of stents!!

Abstract

Dislodgement of a fully deployed stent is an uncommon but dangerous complication associated with coronary interventions. A new stent may get stuck that may inadvertently remove the previous stent in a piggybacking fashion. We hereby present a case of piggybacking of stents which was managed without any further complications.
