It was reported that stent dislodgement occurred.The more than 90% stenosed target lesion was located in the severly tortuous left common and external iliac arteries.A 9.0x40x75cm express ld iliac / biliary stent was advanced for treatment.However, it was noted that the stent came off its balloon when removing the stent to exchange guidewires.The balloon was removed and the undeployed stent was seen in the sheath inside the body.The physician used a small balloon and inserted it through the undeployed stent which was then subsequently advanced and deployed safely into the external iliac artery (eia).After stent implantation in the eia, another 9.0x40x75cm express ld stent was handed off to treat the left common iliac artery.However, it was noticed that the balloon in which the stent is mounted was winged out at the distal portion.The physician decided not to used the stent and finished the procedure with another of the same device.No harm was caused to the patient.
