Physician attempted to deploy a 5 mm by 150 mm stent into the superior femoral artery (sfa), while deploying the stent, physician was unable to fully deploy the stent due to trapping of the stent within the sub-intimal plane.Physician subsequently had to remove the entire delivery sheath and delivery catheter for the stent from the right groin.Manual pressure was then held in the groin for hemostasis.Next, retrograde injections were performed through the pedal access sheath which showed patent popliteal artery, tibioperoneal (tp) trunk and posterior tibial artery.Next, the arterial sheath was removed from the pedal access site and manual pressure held here for hemostasis.Overall, the patient tolerated the procedure well and was transferred to the post-anesthesia care unit (pacu) in a stable condition.
