Abstract

With the continued advancement in PCI equipment and techniques, complications arising from intracoronary manipulation are encountered. Such complications are associated with major adverse outcome including death; myocardial infarction (MI) and the need for urgent coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), and they require prompt recognition and mediation by the interventional cardiologist. We report a case of a broken stent shaft system in the setting of acute coronary syndrome and its successful retrieval using a non-compliant balloon to trap the proximal portion of the shaft within the guide ("trapping" a procedure used in coronary Chronic Total Occlusions (CTO) interventions) followed by slow withdrawal of the whole system. This was followed by successful PCI of the culprit lesion using a drug eluting stent without any residual complications.
