Event Description
|
It was reported that the stent partially deployed.An eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system was selected for use in the superficial femoral artery.The target lesion was reported to be 100% stenosed with moderate tortuosity.The target vessel was predilated prior to eluvia use.During deployment, the thumbwheel was felt to be spinning idly with about 2 cm of stent deployment remaining.By pulling the entire system, the stent was able to be fully deployed.When the physician attempted to remove the sheath, it was observed that the delivery system was stuck.The handle of the delivery system was taken apart to search for the root cause of the resistance, but no root cause was identified.The entire delivery system was removed along with the sheath.There were no reported patient complications.
