    AbstractA 49-year-old man underwent emergent coronary angiography for acute inferior myocardial infarction (MI). After balloon angioplasty of culprit right coronary artery (RCA) occlusion, a Promus Element stent would not advance to the target lesion. The proximal end of the stent became compressed against the tip of the guiding catheter, such that the stent could neither be advanced nor withdrawn. This case illustrates the technical aspects of snare removal of a severely deformed stent via the radial artery.
