It was reported that during positioning of the balloon expandable covered stent in the celiac artery, the health care provider (hcp) did not want to deploy the covered stent through the tight stenosis of the lesion without the protection of the sheath; therefore, the hcp retracted the partially exposed covered stent back into the introducer sheath and pulled the balloon catheter back to the hemostatic valve of the sheath.At this point, the balloon catheter was completely removed and the hcp allegedly identified that the covered stent was no longer attached to the balloon catheter.Fluoroscopy was used to locate the covered stent at the valve of the introducer sheath.It was further reported that the sheath was removed and replaced with another.There was no reported patient injury.
