Abstract
Stent embolization is a complication that usually requires surgical extraction We report a case where the covered stent used in MELODY valve transcatheter pulmonary valve placement embolized to the right ventricle after being fully dilated on a 24mdiameter balloon After several unsuccessful attempts trying to capture it back or push it forward to the intended landing zone we succeeded in deploying another stent straddling the embolized stent to anchor both of them in the main pulmonary artery Two months later we performed the valve implantation supported by both prestents
