Successful Endovascular Retrieval of a Stent Fragment from the Femoral Artery
Journal Title: E Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
The use of peripheral angiography is very common in the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral artery disease. In this case, we retrieved the fragment of a stent that had fractured during the procedure for peripheral artery treatment. To our knowledge, there is no similar case in the literature. A 58-year-old male patient with diabetes mellitus (10 years) and peripheral artery disease (3 years), who also had a history of coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, applied to our hospital with a complaint of claudication. The ruptured stent fragment in the superficial femoral artery was retrieved using a snare catheter during peripheral angiography (with appropriate modifications). Successful retrieval, no early or late complications, and no problems in follow-up.
