Abstract
Stent dislodgment and embolization is a rare complication of coronary stenting.
There are reports of intra-coronary stent entrapment, stripping, and dislodgement
during percutaneous coronary interventions causing potentially life threatening
complications, including intra-coronary or systemic embolization. Reports of
dislodgment and migration of previously placed drug eluting intra-coronary stent
several months after deployment are very limited in the literature. We describe a
drug eluting stent dislodgment and migration in an 88 year-old male 10 months after
its deployment.
