It was reported that the stent jumped.A 6mm x 40mm x 75cm innova self-expanding stent was selected for use in a left upper extremity fistulagram with angioplasty and stenting.There was tight stenosis in the distal portion of the left upper extremity fistula, which was pre-dilated with a 6mm x 40mm gladiator balloon.The physician was in the process of deploying the innova stent, but the stent released and migrated to the auxiliary vein before finishing deployment.A 7mm x 40mm gladiator balloon was used to pull the stent back down towards the lesion.It stopped proximal to the lesion.A 7mm x 40mm innova stent was then used to both cover the stenotic lesion and secure the previously deployed 6mm x 40mm innova stent in place just above the lesion.No patient complications were reported.
