Event Description

It was reported that during a heavily tortuous right coronary artery (rca) intervention, the xience alpine stent would not cross lesion due to the anatomy, so it was decided to remove it from the patient and prep the lesion again.During retrieval, the stent dislodged near the ostium of the rca.The stent could not be retrieved so it was embedded against the artery wall with another xience alpine stent.There was no reported adverse patient sequelae or a clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
