Retrieving a deformed stent during transradial intervention: An alternative femoral approach using guide catheter shortening

Abstract

Stent dislodgment during percutaneous coronary intervention is a rare complication. We report a case of successful retrieval of a deformed coronary stent through alternative transfemoral approach while performing transradial procedure when the stent could not be retrieved safely from transradial route.
