Although foreign body embolization is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention, the increase in the number of procedures results in this problem being more frequently encountered by interventional cardiologists. Contemporary case studies have reported the rate of stent stripping to be below 1%. Interventional cardiologists attend to a considerable number of cases in everyday practice and witness a diverse spectrum of complications. Stent stripping can result in severe complications such as emergency coronary bypass surgery, coronary thrombosis, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular event and death. Thus, the proper management of stent stripping is important for reducing the risk of mortality and morbidity. In this article, we present a case of left main coronary artery stent stripping; we discuss the removal procedure and the complications that arose.
