During a percutaneous coronary procedure, the device may become stuck and break in the coronary circulation. This complication occurs in 0.1% of all procedures. Even with technological improvements, this event still happens because percutaneous coronary interventions are frequently used to treat complex lesions. We report a case of a patient undergoing a percutaneous stenting procedure in which the 0.014″ guidewire was caught in the right coronary artery. Removal of the guidewire was impossible, and it broke in the brachiocephalic artery. Emergency coronary artery bypass grafting was performed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
