【 摘 要 】

We performed orbital atherectomy in the left circumflex artery through a stent that jailed the circumflex artery ostium. The orbital atherectomy catheter was entrapped within the stent and the stent was avulsed during catheter withdrawal. We should consider this potential complication when performing orbital atherectomy in a jailed side branch. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
