The pressurewire was advanced across a lesion in the mid lad and a stent was placed after obtaining ffr values.A stent was placed previously in the proximal lad and upon removing the pressurewire, it became stuck in the proximal lad.Force was used to remove the wire and the radiopaque tip became separated from the wire and remained in the patient.The physician was unable to retrieve the tip and a stent was placed in proximal lad to cover the tip portion that remained.The patient was stable following the procedure with no adverse consequences.
