Intracoronary undeployed stent embolization occurring during percutaneous coronary intervention is an infrequent complication. Published data indicate that without stent retrieval, the outcome is unfavourable. The present report describes a case in which failure to retrieve an undeployed embolized stent from the mid right coronary artery was managed conservatively with acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel and warfarin without any major adverse cardiac events during hospitalization or up to 12 months follow-up. This approach may be an alternative treatment of undeployed embolized intracoronary stent when retrieval or deployment is unsuccessful.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has proven over the years to be a viable alternative to open surgery. A rare but severe complication is represented by the valve migration. We report a case of TAVI complication due to the loss of the prosthetic valve in the abdominal aorta treated by endovascular approach.

Most reports of stent retrieval involve undeployed, embolized stents. While the retrieval of fully deployed stents has been sporadically reported, most of these were not intentional. The feasibility and safety of intentional retrieval of fully deployed, but erroneously placed stents have not been well described.

Typically, dislodged stents are found in the treated vessel or embolise to the systemic circulation. Embolisation of an undeployed stent from one coronary artery to another has never been reported before.
