We describe a case of accidental retrieval of a fully deployed stent in ostial left anterior descending (LAD) artery. This occurred while attempting stent delivery in obtuse marginal (OM) artery due to entrapment of a wire which inadvertently had passed through the struts of ostial LAD stent. The proposed mechanism and recommendations to avoid this rare complication are discussed.

Background: In low- and middle-income countries, trauma is the leading cause of death among youth and it is also a major cause of disability. Globally, more than 1,600 children and adolescents below the age of 19-years die every day from preventable injuries. Traffic-related injuries, falls, sports-related injuries, assaults, burns, and drownings are the most commonly reported causes of traumatic mortality among children.

From the Hospital Universitario Rio Hortega, Valladolid, Spain.
With increased use of extended criteria liver donors, there is a higher incidence of previously unknown intra-abdominal pathologies, including abdominal aortic aneurysms, which are being accidentally found during organ procurement. These findings often involve technical difficulties that challenge organ procurement teams and potentially put at risk the success of organ retrieval and eventual transplant. In this case report, we present a novel case of a successful liver retrieval from a donor with brain death who was incidentally found to have an infrarenal aortic aneurysm that spared both iliac arteries.

Article Synopsis
- Illicit drug toxicity is the leading cause of death in British Columbia for individuals aged 10-59, with a notable rise in stimulant-related fatalities.
- The study analyzed data from 3,788 drug toxicity deaths to understand the differences between deaths caused by stimulants versus opioids, focusing on the presence of chronic diseases.
- Results indicated that individuals with heart disease are at a higher risk of death from stimulant use compared to opioid use, highlighting the need for further research and targeted interventions to prevent such fatalities among at-risk populations.
