Event Description

It was reported that stent damage post-deployment occurred.Vascular access was obtained utilizing an ipsilateral retrograde puncture.The 90% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and mildly calcified right common iliac artery.The lesion length was slightly less than 4cm.After a 235cm jupiter sfc guidewire and a 6f non-boston scientific guide catheter were advanced, pre-dilatation was performed with an 8.0x20 sterling mr balloon catheter.Subsequently, a 10x40x75 epic vascular stent was deployed and post dilatation was performed using a 10.0x40 non-boston scientific balloon.Intravenous ultrasound confirmed the stent was properly apposed to the vessel wall.However, when the non-bsc guide catheter was moved up for final imaging, the stent got caught causing the distal edge to lift and shorten.Balloon dilatation was then attempted with the 8.0x20 sterling mr balloon catheter, however sufficient dilatation could not be obtained.A 10.0x40 non-bsc balloon was attempted to be used but it could not be inserted inside the stent.A 4.0x40 non-bsc balloon was also used but sufficient dilatation still could not be obtained.Since good blood flow was observed, no further intervention was performed and the procedure was completed.There were no patient complications and the patient condition was stable.It was further reported that 8.0x20 sterling mr balloon catheter was able to inflate but failed to dilate the lesion.There was no problem with the stent size after placement.The area where the shortening occurred was visually reduced to approximately 50% of the size.
