It was reported that the stent was difficult to position.The patient presented with may-thurner syndrome and underwent stenting.The 74% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and non-calcified iliac vein.An 18x60x75cm venous wallstent was advanced over a non-boston scientific guidewire with much difficulty.The stent was deployed and post-dilated with a 12mm charger balloon with good vessel apposition.However, the physician was unhappy with the placement of the stent and decided to deploy a 18x90 venous wallstent to anchor and reinforce the previously deployed stent.The physician felt the stent was maldeployed and commented on appearance of webbing in the iliac vein.No patient complications were reported.
