A 13‐year‐old girl underwent endovascular stent placement for coarctation of aorta. The fully expanded stent migrated to ascending aorta which could be stabilized, recrimped, and repositioned with a 20‐mm goose neck snare. Postdilatation was performed from the left brachial route resulting in a good outcome. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
