It was reported, that the stent partially deployed and became stretched.A 7x120, 130 cm eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system was selected for use in a stenting procedure, in the superficial femoral artery (sfa).An ipsilateral retrograde approach was used to access the 100% stenosed target lesion that was severely calcified, and located in moderately tortuous anatomy.A 0.014-inch jupiter s6 guidewire was used.Pre-dilatation of the lesion was performed.During stent deployment, a strong force was needed to rotate the thumbwheel.When deployment with the thumbwheel became impossible with about 5cm of the stent left to deploy, the entire system was pulled to deploy the stent.The stent stretched to 20cm, but the procedure was completed as it was.No patient complications were reported.
