Event Description

It was reported that following pre-dilatation with a 5.0 balloon catheter for 2-3 minutes, a 4.5 supera stent was implanted in the distal popliteal lesion and following a 5.0 supera stent was implanted more proximal with some overlap.Both stents were implanted without issue with reported perfect results and both were well apposed to the vessel wall.Following, a thrombus was observed within the stents with total occlusion.The thrombus then embolized distally and a 6f catheter was used in attempt to retrieve the thrombus.During removal of the catheter through the stents, reportedly the operator did not visualize the sheath during removal and the sheath caught the 5.0 supera stent and elongated the 5.0 stent.The stents remained well apposed to the vessel wall.On (b)(6) 2018, a bypass was performed, leaving the supera stents within the patients anatomy.The patient is in stable condition without further issues reported.No additional information was provided.
