ABSTRACT
Entrapment of an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheter during coronary intervention is rare, but can cause serious complications. Retrieval of an entrapped catheter can also lead to adverse results for implanted stents. We report a case in which the sheath tip at the guidewire exit port was entrapped and caused stent distortion during a post-stent IVUS procedure with automatic pullback.
