ABSTRACT
There has been a growing trend toward percutaneous coronary angioplasty for complex coronary artery lesions. Stent or guidewire break off or trapping within the coronary artery lumen is a rare complication, but it may have fatal consequences. In such cases, the entrapped device may be removed by either percutaneous route or surgical exploration. Here, we report a patient with guidewire entrapment within the struts of the intracoronary stent during primary percutaneous coronary angioplasty, which necessitated surgical removal and subsequent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
