An LAD/D1 bifurcation intervention was complicated by side‐branch wire entrapment and unravelling requiring goose‐neck snare removal. Residual microfilaments were retrieved from the main branch after further balloon inflations with a satisfactory final angiographic result and one‐year follow‐up. Various methods are available to avoid and deal with this complication. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
