Abstract
Potential complications of intracoronary stenting include stent dislodgement and embolization. We describe a patient in whom a stent was dislodged from a coronary balloon catheter to the iliac artery. A peripheral angioplasty balloon was used to withdraw the stent into the arterial sheath and thereby remove it from the patient.Keywords
