Abstract
Although the number of PCI procedures has significantly increased over the years, the severe complications are rare. Stent embolization is a rare complication of coronary stenting, at a rate of 0.2%. We report on a case with a 64-year-old man admitted to the emergency department with unstable angina and stent embolization during the coronary angiography and successful retrieval of a coronary stent from the left anterior descending (LAD) artery, which migrated to the left popliteal artery. The stent was finally removed surgically.
Keywords:Stent embolization; Coronary complication; Popliteal artery
