After normal deployment of the stent, physician withdrew delivery system and noticed the distal marker on the stent delivery system was still in the stent.He removed the stent delivery system completely and the distal clear tip on the stent delivery system was not there.He then went in with a 5mm gooseneck snare over a v18 wire and snared the distal end of the enroute.014 wire and successfully removed the enroute.014 wire with the loose tip on it.Patient was fine and stable.There was no calcium or tortuosity to cause the issue.The stent was prepped in normal fashion.The filter had a large piece of the plastic tip in it.
