Repositioning of Covered Stents: The Grip Technique

Authors: John Martin Kirby, Xiao Feng Guo, Mehran Midia

Published in: CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology | Issue 3/2011

Abstract

Introduction

Retrieval and repositioning of a stent deployed beyond its intended target region may be a difficult technical challenge.

Materials and Methods

A balloon-mounted snare technique, a variant of the coaxial loop snare technique, is described.

Results

The technique is described for the repositioning of a covered transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt stent and a covered biliary stent.

Conclusion

The balloon-mounted snare technique is a useful technique for retrieval of migrated stents.
