Abstract
Stent dislodgement during angioplasty is a rare but potentially fatal complication if not properly managed. We described a case of an elderly man who had previously undergone coronary angioplasty and now presented with an inferior wall myocardial infarction and required emergency angioplasty. Because of the loss of antegrade flow during the procedure, the proximal lesion was stented first. Undeployed stent was dislodged into proximal stent during distal stent deployment through proximal stent. This complication was addressed by crushing the undeployed stent and deploying another stent to secure the crushed stent to the arterial wall. Postprocedure patient was stable and discharged after 2 days. An operator should be aware of this risk as well as possible bailout options.
