PThe Case of Removal of Intracoronary Broken Stent Catheter’s Shaft and Its Balloon Trough Femoral Sheat During Primer PTCA

In the time of invasive area, catheter based complications is getting more frequent and interventionist deals with this kind of complications’ management more than vascular surgeons. Regardless of complication’s nature commonly management of complications are successful and requirements of surgery are needless. But the patient stability deteriorates the time of complications especially result of intracoronary foreign bodies. Quick Removal of these foreign bodies from coronary circulation can stabilize patient condition. After that externalization of these kind remnants from patient body is the final step of successfully management of complications. . We herein present an acute inferior ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI) with hemodynamic disturbance because of total obstruction of RCA with broken stent balloon shaft. After successfully catch and removal of broken part of stent catheter, patient’s situation was going well and discharged with medical therapy shortly after intervention.
