Abstract

Although the incidence of stent dislodgement has gradually decreased, dislodgement is still a potential cause of serious complications if it happens. We report a case of complicated dislodgement of a paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent during percutaneous coronary intervention and the successful retrieval in the abdominal aorta using a Günther Tulip Vena Cava MReye Filter Retrieval Set, which was inserted from the right femoral artery. This retrieval set has a unique curve loop that was useful to retrieve the dislodged stent in the abdominal aorta.
