4 A.M. STEMI call. 45-year-old male with acute anterior STEMI activated through the STEMI pathway. Coronary angiography showed complete thrombotic occlusion of the LAD. Initial ballooning restored flow, and a drug-eluting stent was deployed successfully… or so we thought. Seconds later came one of the true nightmares in interventional cardiology: The stent was physically delivered. Deployment was confirmed. But fluoroscopy showed… no stent in the lesion. The LAD still looked unstented. Immediate full fluoroscopic search of the patient’s body was performed. No lost stent was seen anywhere. The table? Negative. The sheath? Negative. The guiding system inside the body? Negative. Unfortunately, stent boost was unavailable at that moment, and IVUS was not accessible. Multiple vigorous flushes of the guiding catheter failed to reveal the missing stent. At that point, the concern escalated dramatically — embolized stent? Lost in the system? Somewhere unseen? Decision was made to retrieve the entire system and physically inspect everything outside the patient. Still nothing. Finally, as a last attempt, the guiding catheter was carefully cut in small external segments. And there it was. The entire undeployed stent was trapped inside the OUTSIDE portion of the guiding catheter — beyond the fluoroscopy field — firmly stuck despite repeated flushing attempts. The relief in the cath lab at that moment was indescribable. A new stent was then successfully deployed with excellent final angiographic result. Lessons from the night: • Never trust assumptions in the cath lab • Lost stents can hide in unexpected places • Systematic troubleshooting saves lives — and saves operators from panic • Sometimes the solution is not high-tech… but persistence and careful thinking Interventional cardiology continues to humble us. #Cardiology #InterventionalCardiology #STEMI #PCI #CathLab #CoronaryIntervention #LAD #CardioTwitter #MedTwitter #STEMIPathway

لماذا يصاب السعوديين بمرض تصلب الشرايين التاجية بكثرة؟ ولماذا تسبق إصابتهم بالسكتة القلبية أقرانهم في بلدان أخرى؟ بعد لقائي في قناة الإخبارية جاءتني بعض الطلبات والأسئلة، وسأحاول أن أوضح هنا أكثر. ومن وقت لآخر سأكتب عن مواضيع أمراض القلب قدر الامكان بهدف نشر الوعي. هنا ثريد يخص تصلب الشرايين، بإمكانك تفضيله وقراءته أي وقت
