Inadvertent extraction of a previously deployed stent.

Unintentional extraction of a previously deployed stent is a rare complication. In this case report, we are presenting inadvertent extraction of a previously deployed stent occurring after repetitive balloon dilatations and manual thrombus aspiration to treat acute stent thrombosis. Operators must be careful dealing with in-stent lesions or passing through old stents. <Learning objective: Operators must be careful when dealing with patients with previously deployed stents. There is no easy case in interventional cardiology; complications like this can occur although the case was seemingly uneventful.>.
