Successful retrieval of a lost coronary stent from the descending aorta using a loop basket intravascular retriever set

Abstract

Delivery of a balloon-expandable stent was complicated by a systemic embolisation. The radio-opaque stent was lost in the descending aorta, but then removed by using a loop basket intravascular retriever set without any peripheral arterial complication. Cathet. Cardiovasc.
