It was reported that stent dislodgement occurred.The stenosed target lesion was located in the iliac artery.A 7.0x30x75cm express ld iliac / biliary stent was advanced for treatment but could not cross the lesion.The physician decided to withdraw the stent to pre-dilate the lesion.However, after removing the device out of the sheath, it was noted that the stent was no longer attached to the stent delivery system balloon.Upon imaging, the stent was found lodged at the end of the sheath.The physician was not able to remove the stent from the artery.The physician advanced the stent near the lesion to fully deploy it.The stent was then fully deployed but not in the optimal location.Subsequently, a second stent was placed to fully cover the lesion.The procedure was completed successfully and there were no patient complications nor injuries reported.
