Özet

Unintentional extraction of a previously deployed stent is a rare complication. In this case report, we are presenting inadvertent extraction of a previously deployed stent occurring after repetitive balloon dilatations and manual thrombus aspiration to treat acute stent thrombosis. Operators must be careful dealing with in-stent lesions or passing through old stents.
