    IT WAS REPORTED THAT DIFFICULTY REMOVING A GUIDEWIRE AND GUIDEWIRE DETACHMENT OCCURRED. THE 80% STENOSED TARGET LESION WAS LOCATED IN THE HIGHLY CALCIFIED CIRCUMFLEX (CX) AND LEFT ANTERIOR DESCENDING ARTERY (LAD). DUE TO THE BIFURCATION TREATMENT (CX TO LAD), A 2.5 X 20MM PROMUS SELECT STENT WAS IMPLANTED IN THE LAD. FOR A KISSING BALLOON TREATMENT, A 182CM PT GRAPHIX GUIDEWIRE WAS INSERTED INTO THE LAD AND THE WIRE WAS PLACED UNDETECTED UNDER A STENT STRUT. AFTER THE KISSING BALLOON TREATMENT, THE PT GRAPHIX WIRE WAS REMOVED, BUT RESISTANCE WAS FELT. DURING REMOVAL, 3MM OF THE PT GRAPHIX WIRE TIP WAS TORN OFF AND FIXED UNDER THE STENT STRUT. NO INTERVENTION WAS PERFORMED TO REMOVE THE TIP FROM THE PATIENT AS IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO CROSS THE STENOSIS AND SO IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE TIP FROM THE PATIENT. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE REASON FOR THE TIP DETACHMENT WAS DUE TO THE BIFURCATION STENOSIS. THE PROCEDURE WAS COMPLETED. NO PATIENT COMPLICATIONS RESULTED FROM THIS EVENT AND THE PATIENT WAS REPORTED TO BE STABLE FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE.
