Fulltext PDFCoronary stent fracture is a rare complication of stent implantation. The reported incidence of stent fracture among present drug-eluting stents from various studies ranges from 1% to 8%. Coronary stent dislodgement and embolization is also a rare complication in the current era of percutaneous coronary angioplasties. The incidence of stent loss has significantly reduced as stents were pre-crimped in factory itself. It is often benign and managed conservatively by retrieval by smaller balloon or snare, deployment at appropriate location or crushing of the stent, rarely requiring surgical intervention. We present a case of Elderly female with both the complications during PCI managed effectively.
