We report a case of percutaneous coronary intervention complicated by guide wire entrapment secondary to incidental stent crushing after unprompted stent recoil. The guide wire could be successfully removed together with the stent by contraction of the latter. This case illustrates one latent risk of acute stent recoil and the subsequent management of this unusual complication. IMAGES IN CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE
