Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion located in the left carotid artery that was calcified and tortuous.The emboshield was positioned and deployed distal to the lesion without any issues.The acculink stent was advanced to the lesion.The sheath was re-positioned but lost position, resulting in the stent deploying in an unintended location, possibly in the left common carotid.The stent delivery system was removed without issue.While pulling the emboshield filter toward the sheath, it became entangle with the implanted stent.Attempts were made to advance the retrieval catheter, but because the filter was entangled with the stent, it could not be collapsed into the retrieval catheter.The patient was taken to surgery for removal of the filter and stent.No additional treatment was provided, and the patient remains in good condition.No additional information was provided.
