Why the study?
Coronary sinus reducer migration during implantation is an unusual complication lacking a standard bailout strategy, with no prior descriptions of migration to the pulmonary artery.
How can a coronary sinus reducer that has migrated to the pulmonary artery be safely extracted?
How can a coronary sinus reducer that has migrated to the pulmonary artery be safely extracted?
This report describes a mother-and-child technique for the transfemoral extraction of a coronary sinus reducer that migrated to the pulmonary artery, offering a bailout strategy for this unusual complication.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
CS reducer migration to the pulmonary artery is a rare complication without standard bailout; this case report leaves open optimal prevention strategies.
Coronary sinus reducer migration during implantation is an unusual complication with no standard bailout strategy and to the best of our knowledge there is no description of migration to the pulmonary artery. A mother-and-child technique during implantation could be the safest way to avoid this complication.
