Acute Stent Loss and Its Retrieval of a Long, Tapering Morph Stent in a Tortuous, Calcified Lesion

Abstract: A 72-year-old male with diabetes and smoking as coronary risk factors was evaluated for chronic stable angina - Canadian Cardiovascular Society III - despite guideline directed medical treatment which revealed a diffuse, tortuous, calcified narrowing (90% stenosis) in left circumflex (LCx) coronary artery. After predilatation, a 3.0 - 2.5 × 60 mm BioMime Morph stent - long tapering stent (Sirolimus eluting stent, Meril life Sciences, India) - was tracked which failed and dislodged to right deep femoral artery … Show more

“…The long-tapered BioMime Morph SES system comes with a tapered balloon and is designed to undergo “morphology-mediated” expansion and therefore prevents artery dissection or over-inflation at the distal end of the lesion. In fact, few case studies have reported that using long-tapered stent offers the advantage of favorable adaptation to vessel tapering, vessel size, and good apposition in patients with long-tapered coronary lesions along with good coronary flow [14, 15].…”

“…1 Retrieval or exclusion can be done either surgically or through percutaneous transcatheter techniques like a passage of a small distal balloon, the double-wire braiding technique or "knot" technique, the use of snaring device over a second wire, the stent-crush exclusion technique, extracting it by snaring from contralateral arterial access, and lastly deploying and crushing it in another similar sized vascular bed. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Newer balloonmounted stents with better radio-opacity made this complication rare. The prevalence of stent dislodgment is highest, with left main and LAD stenting, followed by LCX and RCA.…”

“…Data about the interventional performance and clinical results of this new device are limited to some case reports [21,22] and a recent study by Valero et al describing the procedural outcomes of 50 CAD patients treated with the 60 mm BM [23]. These authors reported a 92% rate of successful BM deployment, with 18% of GuideLiner™ use to deploy the stent.…”
