A patient with left RAS was treated by stent angioplasty followed by a multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention. Six months later, an aortic dislocation of the stent was diagnosed. The fully expanded stent was caught with a balloon catheter and fixed in the left external iliac artery. Stent migration after initially successful stent angioplasty for RAS is possible. Fully expanded, dislocated balloon‐expandable stents can be secured by implanting them into the iliac artery. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2002;56:416–420. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
