Abstract
Stent migration is an inherent complication of stent deployment. A number of factors are responsible for this dreaded complication. The stent may eventually migrate to the heart or lungs or in the process of migration damage structures en route to its final destination. A number of techniques are available to bail out interventionalists if such a situation should arise. Occasionally a wait and watch approach may be prudent.
