It was reported that the stent failed to expand fully, and an additional device was required to adequately treat the lesion.An eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system was selected for use to treat an arteriovenous fistula.The target lesion was located in the superficial femoral artery and was reported to have severe calcification and tortuosity and was 100% stenosed.The lesion was predilated, and the eluvia delivery system was advanced over a non-boston scientific guidewire.When the eluvia delivery system passed the common iliac bifurcation, it was difficult to advance the device.The stent was deployed without issue, but once deployed, the stent failed to fully expand.The stent was post-dilated, but the physician relayed that the radial force was insufficient to treat the lesion.An additional eluvia was deployed to complete the procedure.The patient condition was reported to be good and there were no complications.
