Abstract
Hardware entrapment during percutaneous coronary intervention is a significant complication necessitating proactive anticipation by interventionists. Here we present a case of a 59-year-old man with a history of stent placement in LAD 1 month back, who now presented with stent thrombosis and acute ST-elevation MI. Percutaneous intervention was done for thrombus aspiration through the previously deployed stent, but the thrombus aspiration device (thrombuster) got stuck in the stent. Despite attempted percutaneous retrieval methods, the device remained inaccessible, leading to emergency surgical device retrieval and simultaneous coronary bypass.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
