Abstract (EN): Introduction Systemic embolisation of stents represents a rare complication of coronary interventions. Report The case of a patient with peripheral embolisation of a coronary stent while undergoing a coronary procedure for an ischaemic event is reported. The stent lodged at a previously created iatrogenic fistula joining the profunda femoral artery and the common femoral vein. An endovascular attempt was ineffective in treating this complication. The stent was removed surgically and the fistula repaired. Discussion This unusual clinical setting of stent embolisation concomitant to an iatrogenic arteriovenous femoral fistula is reported.
