It was reported that stent damage occurred.A 6x40x130 innova vascular stent was selected for a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty procedure.The severely calcified, moderately tortuous, 99% stenosed lesion was accessed by ipsilateral approach.After the unspecified guidewire was passed through, and the stent delivery system was delivered to the target lesion, the physician tried to perform stenting with this device, but the thumbwheel would not move/activate while attempting to deploy the stent, so the device was removed.When checking the device after removal, the distal tip of the stent struts were found to be flared and lifted up.Therefore the device was replaced with an eluvia stent to complete the stenting.The same unspecified guidewire was used to complete the procedure.No patient complications were reported.
