Abstract:
There are many various complications associated with coronary artery stenting, in cluding thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications, in-stent restenosis, side branch occlusion, stent embolization. The retention of equipment components is the uncommon, unexpected and often problematic situations that can arise requiring ingenuity, skill, and creativity. We reports on a patient in whom an sleeve marker ring of a stent balloon catheter retained within the lumen of the coronary artery following coronary stenting. The sleeve marker ring was extracted by dilatation and withdrawal of balloon catheter which readvanced over a guidewire positioned in the center of ring.
