The healthcare professional reported that during an endovascular embolization procedure, when the physician started to release the 4mm x 23mm no tip enterprise¿ 2 vascular reconstruction device (encr402300 / 8314212), three (3) distal markers of the stent were converged and could not expand as intended.The physician released the stent and used micro delivery wire to massage the distal markers, but the markers still did not open.It was reported the procedure was prolonged by approximately 40 minutes.There was no report of any negative patient impact.On 27-mar-2024, additional information was received.Per the information, the target vessel was the internal carotid artery (ica).The location of the aneurysm being treated during the procedure was on the ocular segment of the ica.The aneurysm was a wide necked unruptured aneurysm.There were no vessel nor aneurysm factors that may have contributed to the incomplete expansion of the stent.The information indicated that there was evidence of obstructed blood flow due to the reported incomplete expansion of the stent, the distal end converges resulting in poor blood flow.The temperature indicator label on the inner pouch had been checked and confirmed to be within acceptable criteria.The concomitant microcatheter used was a prowler select plus microcatheter; there was no resistance during the advancement of the stent.The same microcatheter was used to complete the procedure.Per the information, the stent was not replaced, it was implanted.The procedure was completed with the remedial process which used a microwire to massage the stent.The information indicated that there was no negative patient consequence as a result of the reported issue; the physician did consider the 40-minute procedure extension to be clinically significant.The 40 minutes was used to ¿make to make the stent expand more completely.¿.
