Event Description

It was reported that the 3.5x15 mm xience alpine stent delivery system (sds) reached the ostial lesion in the predilated, right coronary artery.The sds was being positioned and met resistance with the mild calcification when the stent dislodged from the sds.A small dilatation catheter was advanced around the dislodged stent and the stent was pulled into the tip of the guide catheter with the inflated dilatation catheter.The guide catheter was retracted into the introducer sheath at the groin when the stent became stuck in the sheath.It was suspected that the stent became flared with the calcium during positioning and the flared stent strut may have caught at the guide catheter/introducer sheath.A small cut-down was performed, but the stent was unable to be located in the groin.A ct scan was performed which found the stent in tissue, above the vasculature.The patient was sent for a surgical cut-down to remove the dislodged stent.No additional information was provided.
