It was reported that stent fracture and stent migration occurred.In the end of (b)(6) 2019, a 6.0 mm x 18 mm x 90 cm express sd stent was implanted in the left renal artery in an unspecified hospital and by an unspecified physician.On (b)(6) 2019, imaging, at a different hospital than where the stent was implanted, identified that the stent was in a less than ideal spot (mostly hanging into the aorta) and fractured.The physician that found this issue did not perform any interventions when this issue was noted as the patient and their family wished to seek treatment and other medical opinions elsewhere.They did not consent to treat as they were worried about the risk of migration and further complications that could occur with an attempt to remove the stent.No further complications were reported.
