Abstract
Device dislodgement during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. We herein report the successful retrieval of a guiding catheter tip that had unexpectedly become detached in the right coronary artery during PCI in a 68-year-old man. Interventional cardiologists must be familiar with a safer and more reliable retrieval technique.Entities:
