Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Stent dislodgement is a known complication during coronary angiography. Different methods are used to retrieve it including open heart surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: A 71 year-old male with stable angina was scheduled for elective coronary angiography. Angiography showed two significant stenosis: one in the proximal right coronary artery (RCA) and one in the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Upon deployment of the right coronary stent, it got lodged and the cardiologist was unable to retrieve it. The patient started to experience angina and his ECG showed ST segment elevation in the inferior leads. Emergency CABG was performed. CONCLUSION: Stent dislodgement is a rare but serious complication. Most cases are treated by interventional methods; however, CABG is still needed in some cases.
