| | Abstract | We report a case of unsuccessful stenting of a right coronary artery after acute dissection during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). The stent was lost in the descending aorta and we used an original technique to remove it from the arterial bed by using both a very low profile balloon and a 6F bioptome. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Case Reports
