Case report—snare loop retrieval of an unnoticed lost stent after 3 months: the later, the harder

Stent loss during PCI, though rare, requires prompt management through stent crushing or retrieval. Unrecognized stent loss can lead to partial endothelialization, complicating retrieval and causing additional complications. It is thus of utmost importance to always verify stent integrity following unsuccessful delivery to recognize immediately the stent loss.
