Abstract
Migration and embolization of a deployed stent is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and can result in serious and potentially life-threatening complications. There are many reports of intracoronary stent entrapment, stripping, and dislodgement during PCI, however, only a few reports about migration. We report a rare case of migration of the left main coronary stent into the aortic root, which happened 5 months after the procedure and was treated by its partial removal through aortotomy along with surgical revascularization. The patient was discharged 5 days later, after an uneventful hospital stay.
