Event or Problem Description

It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat the left main (lm) to the proximal left anterior artery (plad).A kissing balloon technique was done by inflating a 2.75x15mm rx nc trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) in the left circumflex and a 4.0x15mm rx nc trek bdc in the lm ¿ plad.Both balloons were pressurized to 8 atmospheres.Both balloons were deflated multiple times as they deflated slowly.While retrieving the 4.0x15mm nc trek, the balloon got stuck with the newly deployed 3.5x15mm xience sierra stent and broke the stent into two parts.The proximal portion of the separated stent was retrieved with the balloon.A snare device was used to retrieve the distal portion of the stent.During retrieval, the broken stent struts caught and explanted a 2.75x48mm xience xpedition stent that had been implanted on (b)(6) 2019 in the mlad.A new unspecified stent was deployed to cover the entire lad.There was no adverse patient sequela reported.No additional information was provided.
