Clinical Information Patient Initials or Identifier Number Mr. LBHRelevant Clinical History and Physical Exam 72 years old, gentleman, smoker, background history of hypertension & old ischemic stroke. Manage to deliver & stent the mid LAD with SIROFLEX DES 2.5 x 13 mm. Proximal to ostial LAD was stented with Ultimaster DES 3.0 x 24 mm & BIOMATRIX 3.5 x 9 mm.Conclusions Stent dislodgement in the coronary arteries is a rare but potentially fatal complication of PCI.
