It was reported that the stent became occluded and stent damage occurred.The lesion was located in the common iliac vein.Two vici self expanding stents were selected for treatment and were placed.During the procedure, the 16x90x100 vici stent clotted off during the procedure.The patient was put on thrombolysis overnight.The next day, the clot was still there and the physician used a penumbra device to remove the clot.After the use of the penumbra, it was noted that the distal end of the external iliac stent was compressed and foreshortened.The physician used a balloon to open and stretch the stent.A wallstent was placed to open and extend the foreshortened stent.There were no patient complications reported.
