Excessive stent protrusion into the aorta is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report the case of a 60-year-old man with diabetes mellitus admitted for an acute coronary syndrome equivalent to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, related to a critical ostial LMCA stenosis. During emergent PCI, patient agitation led to excessive proximal protrusion (&amp;gt;8\u2005mm) of a drug-eluting stent into the ascending aorta. Balloon optimization failed and resulted in stent deformation. Given the high risk of thrombosis, embolization, and aortic valve interference, intentional stent retrieval using a snare device was successfully performed, followed by optimal re-stenting of the LMCA ostium. The patient had an uneventful recovery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Intentional extraction of a protruding coronary stent is exceptionally rare, particularly in the ostial LMCA. This case highlights the feasibility and safety of snare retrieval as a bail-out strategy when performed early, before endothelialization, and in carefully selected patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ehjcr\/ytag327","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,2]],"date-time":"2026-06-02T11:32:09Z","timestamp":1780399929000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Intentional retrieval of a protruding ostial left main drug-eluting stent using a snare: a bail-out case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-6091-7822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed","family":"Sarsari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohammed V University , Rabat 10000 ,","place":["Morocco"]},{"name":"Cardiology B Department, Ibn Sina University Hospital , Rabat 10000 ,","place":["Morocco"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Houda","family":"Bachri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohammed V University , Rabat 10000 ,","place":["Morocco"]},{"name":"Cardiology B Department, Ibn Sina University Hospital , Rabat 10000 ,","place":["Morocco"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4518-984X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oualid","family":"Kerrouani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohammed V University , Rabat 10000 ,","place":["Morocco"]},{"name":"Cardiology B Department, Ibn Sina University Hospital , Rabat 10000 ,","place":["Morocco"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jamila","family":"Zarzur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohammed V University , Rabat 10000 ,","place":["Morocco"]},{"name":"Cardiology B Department, Ibn Sina University Hospital , Rabat 10000 ,","place":["Morocco"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Cherti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Mohammed V University , Rabat 10000 ,","place":["Morocco"]},{"name":"Cardiology B Department, Ibn Sina University Hospital , Rabat 10000 ,","place":["Morocco"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026060313494058300_ytag327-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehy394","article-title":"2018 ESC\/EACTS guidelines on myocardial revascularization","volume":"40","author":"Neumann","year":"2019","journal-title":"Eur Heart J"},{"key":"2026060313494058300_ytag327-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2223","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1610227","article-title":"Everolimus-eluting stents or bypass surgery for left main coronary artery disease","volume":"375","author":"Stone","year":"2016","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"2026060313494058300_ytag327-B3","first-page":"469","article-title":"Impact of intravascular ultrasound guidance on long-term mortality in stenting for unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis","volume":"120","author":"Park","year":"2009","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"2026060313494058300_ytag327-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3281","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehy285","article-title":"Clinical use of intracoronary imaging.
