Abstract :

Stent embolization and dislodgement is one of the rare complications of percutaneous coronary stenting. There has been various case studies of intra– coronary stent entrapment, stripping, dislodgement, migration during coronary interventions leading to devastating consequences and life threatening complications. We report an unusual dislodgement and migration of fully deployed drug eluting right coronary ostial stents distally in a middle aged female with acute coronary syndrome.
