Stent Dislodgement and Successful Crushing of the Stent in LMCA in a Patient with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy and Two CTOs

Abstract

Stent loss or dislodgement is a rare but potentially serious complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. We present a case of an 80-year-old patient with multiple comorbidities in which stent dislodgement occurred during percutaneous coronary intervention on the left main coronary artery. The complication was successfully resolved without any consequences.
