Event Description
|
It was reported that the stent partially deployed and stretched requiring additional intervention.The 90% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately calcified and moderately tortuous right superficial femoral artery (sfa).A 7x120x130 eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system was selected for use.Following pre-dilation, the stent was advanced contralaterally over a non-bsc guidewire and stent deployment was initiated.The stent was deployed about 80% with the thumbwheel, then the physician tried to use the pull grip.The stent could not be deployed with the thumbwheel or the pull grip.The physician stated that it felt like something was stuck.Eventually it was able to be deployed by moving the shaft back and forth.The stent became stretched due to this issue.Another eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system was additionally placed in the extended part of the stretched stent.There were no patient complications.
