It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion in the right coronary artery (rca) with heavy calcification.Pre-dilatation was performed with a 3.00 x 15mm trek balloon.Then a 4.00 x 23mm xience skypoint stent delivery system (sds) was attempted to be advanced to the target lesion; however, the stent failed to cross due to anatomical challenges.The sds was being removed from the patient when the stent became stuck in the calcium and dislodged from the delivery system; therefore, the stent was snared to the wrist, but the stent was unable to be retrieved and was left stuck in the wrist.There was no adverse patient sequela or a clinically significant delay in procedure.Additional pre-dilatation was performed with a cutting balloon and then a new 4.00 x 23 xience skypoint stent was successfully implanted in the target lesion to treat the patient.No additional information was provided.
