We report a case of stent strut avulsion by the cutting balloon during the withdrawal of the deflated balloon catheter in aorto‐ostial in‐stent restenosis, which was managed successfully by another stent. The proposed mechanisms and recommendations to avoid this rare complication are provided. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2002;56:215–219. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
