ABSTRACT
Entrapment and fracture of coronary angioplasty hardware are rare complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Retained guidewire should be removed either percutaneously or surgically, because it could serve as a nidus for thrombus formation. We report on a successful surgical retrieval of entrapped PCI guidewire and subsequent bypass grafting of the affected coronary vessel.
