It was reported that the stent was difficult to position and additional intervention was required.A 7mm x 80mm x 130cm innova vascular self-expanding stent was selected for use in a stenting procedure in the superficial femoral artery.During the procedure while deploying the stent, the delivery system splintered.The stent deployed fully, but it fell a few millimeters short of the intended target lesion.A balloon was used on the portion of the lesion not covered by the stent.A satisfactory result was accomplished.No patient complications were reported.
