Event Description

Physician used an abre venous self-expanding stent during a procedure to treat a lesion in the patient's distal left iliac vein confluence to left external iliac.Little tortuous, non calcified, presenting with 76.6%.No abnormalities related to anatomy.The lesion was predilated.There was no damage noted to packaging (i.E.Shelf carton, hoop/tray).There were no issues noted when removing the device from the hoop/tray.The device was prepped as per the ifu without issue.The device was not passed though a previously deployed stent.No resistance encountered when advancing device.No excessive force used.The lock-pin was removed prior to attempted deploy per ifu.It is reported there was difficulty when deploying the stent, the stent could not be fully deployed and partially deployed and deformed.Following post-dilation with a balloon, the balloon became stuck in the partially deployed stent and was unable to be retrieved without risk of pulling the stent into the ivc.At the stent implant site the lesion was not compressed or had any lesion fibrotic, plaque.Access was gained from the groin and a snare was used to grab the balloon, cutting its hub at the ijv and removing through the groin.Contrast confirmed faulty flow at the defect.A second stent was then placed from the groin to cover the defect and improve the flow.No issues with second stent deployed.There is no injury to the patient reported.
