It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a calcified lesion in the proximal left anterior descending artery.A 3.5x33mm xience sierra stent delivery system (sds) was advanced; however, resistance with the anatomy was felt.An attempt to remove the sds was made, but resistance with the guideliner was felt and the stent dislodged at the distal end of the guideliner.A second balance wire was advanced past the dislodged stent and wrapped around the original guidewire.As a unit, the guideliner, stent, and wires were pulled back into the guide catheter.The guide catheter along with the retrieved equipment was then removed as a unit.The procedure was successfully completed with a new 3.25x33mm xience sierra stent.There were no adverse patient sequela and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
