It was reported that stent damage occurred.A procedure in the superficial femoral artery (sfa) was performed to treat a restenosed non-bsc stent.An eluvia self expanding drug eluting stent was successfully implanted using a.014 non-bsc guidewire.A second eluvia device, 6x120x130, was selected for implant however, it was unable to cross the lesion.A coyote es 4x40x146 balloon was selected and that device also failed to cross the lesion.The guidewire was attempted to be removed but was stuck in the lesion.An attempt was made to remove the guidewire via snare which was unsuccessful and the wire was surgically removed from the patient.The stent strut of the implanted eluvia device is suspected to be lifted due to the guidewire being pushed into and possibly stuck within it.It was confirmed the edge of the stent was moved.No known patient complications have been initially reported however, the condition post procedure is being confirmed.
