Event Description
|
It was reported that the stent stretched.A 6mm x 120mm x 130cm eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system was selected for use in a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) procedure in the right superficial femoral artery (sfa).The 100% stenosed target lesion was severely calcified and located in severely tortuous anatomy.A non-boston scientific introducer sheath, a non-boston scientific guidewire, a 6mm x 40mm x 80cm sterling balloon catheter, and a non-boston scientific inflation device were also used in this procedure.During the procedure, the eluvia's thumbwheel became stiff and hard when attempting to deploy the stent.It required high force to turn the thumbwheel, but eventually the stent fully deployed.The stent was stretched slightly as a result of this event.The procedure was completed.No patient complications were reported.
