Abstract
- Stenting is a highly effective procedure for patients with peripheral vascular diseases, but procedure-related complications can occur. The use of balloon-expandable stents has resulted in a spectrum of deployment-associated complications and new technical challenges for surgeons. This case describes a probably uncommon scenario, in which an undeployed balloon-expandable stent abruptly dislodged from the balloon catheter and stacked in an iliac bifurcation. The unexpanded stent was captured using a low-profile balloon and was then anchored at an alternate location. This situation was managed successfully without the need for an open retrieval procedure.
