It was reported that the stent moved within the patient's anatomy.A 16x120x100 vici self-expanding stent was selected for treatment of a may thurner lesion in the common iliac vein (civ).The stent was successfully deployed and appeared fully apposed.Upon removal of the deployment system, the stent moved approximately 100mm within the patient's vessel into the mid-ivc (inferior vena cava) and proximal common iliac vein, leaving the distal tip in the civ.This event required the placement of two additional stents, 18x90 wallstents, to cover the intended location.No patient complications were reported, but the vici remained within the patient.The patient fully recovered and was sent home.
