It was reported that the procedure was cancelled.The 100% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and severely calcified superficial femoral artery (sfa).During placement of the 7x130, 130cm eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system, the distal tip got caught in the proximal edge of the previously placed eluvia and was unable to advance further.The edge of the stent was re-expanded with a balloon and the guidewire was changed from 0.014 to 0.035; however, the stent edge still could not pass the previously placed stent.The device was removed from the patient.There were no patient complications.The procedure was cancelled and rescheduled.
