Abstract
Stent dislodgment from its delivery catheter is a rare yet clinically impor tant entity in cardiac catheterization. We report a highly unusual case of stent loss and subsequent localization in the guiding catheter. Our hypothe sized mechanism of stent dislodgment should he recognized by the medical co mmunity.
