We present with full and proper consent of the patient, the case of a 64 -year-old male with severe peripheral arterial disease and a known chronic infrarenal aortic occlusion causing severe short-distance claudication. Preoperative CTA was significant for a new "cylindrical" calcified lesion. During the elective surgery, the lesion was confirmed to be a coronary stent. The coronary stent was confirmed to be from the patient's prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) one year prior. The stent was removed without complication by the surgical team. Such a case has yet to be described in current literature. This patient is currently alive, and a revision of his LAD intervention was found to be unwarranted on repeat coronary angiography.
