Event Description

It was reported that the stent inadvertently deployed.A 6x40x130 eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system was selected for use for an angioplasty and stenting procedure in the superficial femoral artery (sfa).During preparation, it was observed that the stent was just barely exposed at the tapered nose cone as if it was starting to deploy.However, the yellow safety was still intact on the deployment wheel.The stent was never introduced into the sheath or patient body.The procedure was completed with a different stent and there were no patient complications reported.
