It was reported via medwatch form 1000060000-2018-8145 that removal difficulty and stent migration were encountered.The target lesion was located in the left main artery.A 4.00x8mm promus premier drug-eluting stent was advanced for treatment during a percutaneous coronary intervention (pci).After the stent was deployed in the target lesion, the balloon were difficult to remove through the unknown guide catheter and so it was removed both at the same time.The balloon and guide catheter were close to the stent in the left main and appeared to have caught on the edge of the balloon catheter and embolized it.The physician attempted to find the stent to snare it, but it was no longer visible on angiography.The patient was monitored for symptoms of neurologic or peripheral vascular complications and nothing was found.
