Description
Ezgi Çamlı Babayiğit and co-authors report a rare stent accident during heart artery repair in a case from 2026. A sixty-five-year-old woman arrived with a heart attack. Her left anterior descending artery and its first diagonal branch were both badly narrowed. The team chose a mini-crush technique to stent the fork.
One stent was placed in the branch while a second waited parked in the main artery. Pulling the branch balloon back deformed the parked stent. It slipped off its balloon into the aorta. Lost stents in the left main area can be catastrophic. Emergency bypass surgery followed to rescue the situation. The report walks through the mishap so other operators can dodge it.
