Abstract
With the increasing use of flexible intracoronary stents, the likeliho od of complications, including stent misplacement, will tend to rise. We describe the successful use of three commercially available retriev al devices: the nitinol gooseneck snare, the biliary forceps, and the multipurpose basket. We recommend the availability of these devices to operators involved in intracoronary stent placement. (C) 1993 Wiley-L iss, Inc.
