It was reported that the patient was being treated with a new non-abbott drug eluting stent on a previously implanted stent in the right coronary artery.A high-torque (ht) floppy ii guide wire and an unknown guide wire were advanced as buddy wires; however, the unknown guide wire was removed from the anatomy before the new stent was deployed.The ht floppy guide wire was between the old stent and the new stent and when it was pulled back gently the tip separated.The tip of the guide wire was not able to be pulled back and the tip snared; less than 1mm tip was left sandwiched against the vessel wall in between the old stent and new stent.Flow was good and the patient had no chest pain, no ekg changes, and cineangiogram after giving intracoronary nitroglycerin showed excellent mid flow distally.The patient is doing well and was advised to continue aspirin, plavix, and dual antiplatelet therapy.No additional information was provided.
