Stent dislodgment and embolization is a rare complication of coronary stenting.

There are reports of intra-coronary stent entrapment, stripping, and dislodgement

during percutaneous coronary interventions causing potentially life threatening

complications, including intra-coronary or systemic embolization. Reports of

dislodgment and migration of previously placed drug eluting intra-coronary stent

several months after deployment are very limited in the literature. We describe a

drug eluting stent dislodgment and migration in an 88 year-old male 10 months after

its deployment.
