During the cath lab procedure for stent placement, the stent could not be relieved to that associated lesion due to the malfunction of the stent delivery system.When removing the stent delivery system, the system became stuck inside the guiding catheter inside the patient¿s body.Eventually, when the surgeon pulled the stent and guided the catheter the stent sheared off inside of the transducer management device, which is a co-pilot to the system.There was no harm to the patient during this event but it was a device issue.
