It was reported to boston scientific corporation on (b)(6), 2022, that an axios stent and electrocautery enhanced delivery system was to be implanted transgastric to the pancreas to treat a pseudocyst during a cystogastrostomy procedure performed on (b)(6), 2022.During the procedure, the first flange of the axios stent was deployed; however, it did not fully expand under endoscopic ultrasound (eus).The physician proceeded on deploying the second flange of the axios stent.The cyst was able to be drained; however, under endoscopic view, the axios stent appeared to be stretched and elongated through the cyst/peritoneal space/stomach after the second flange was deployed.The axios stent was removed from the patient using a rat tooth forceps and a 15mmx10mm axios stent was implanted to complete the procedure.There were no patient complications as a result of this event.
