Doctor was attempting to do a placement of dialysis graft in the internal jugular vein.A gore hybrid graft was chosen.An attempt was made to deploy the stent and halfway through deployment the mechanism failed, and it was not possible to deploy the rest of the graft.The graft had to be transected near the entry in the jugular vein and the vein ligated since part of the graft with the stent had been deployed.The graft segment was securely in the vein and could not be retrieved.Manufacturer response for vascular graft, hybrid vascular graft (per site reporter).No response as of yet.
