Özet
Stent embolization is a rare complication of coronary stenting. If left untreated, it may lead to devastating consequences. Although there is much known about stent embolization, data about migration of stent after deployment is limited. We report an unusual case of a deployed stent migration into the distal part of right coronary artery after intracoronary glyceryl trinitrate administration during percutaneous coronary intervention.
