It was reported that the stent prematurely deployed.A 6x80, 130 cm eluvia self expanding stent was selected for use for a lower angioplasty procedure.A cross over approach was being utilized and as the physician was pushing the stent past a tight bifurcation, the stent seemed to have caught on the calcified lesion, and started to prematurely deploy despite the safety lock being in place.The physician then deployed the remainder of the stent without issue at the target lesion.There were no patient complications reported.
