Özet
Systemic embolization complicating intracoronary stenting before deployment is a rare complication; although it was not associated with any clinical sequelae, great care should be taken to prevent this possibility. We report a case of the successful retrieval of an embolized stent from the left ventricle during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of a left anterior descending coronary artery.
