Intracoronary embolization and retrieval of radio-opaque ring marker on the ACS Multi-Link stent sheath.

We report a case of intracoronary embolization of a ring marker on a stent sheath. The Microsnare device was unsuitable because of the distal position of the marker. After failing to retrieve the marker using an over-the-wire balloon and the two-wire technique, we succeeded in removing the marker using a balloon-on-wire system.
