It was reported that stent foreshortening occurred.The patient was being treated for computed tomography interventional therapy of lower limbs.The 60% stenosed target lesion was located in the mildly tortuous and non-calcified left iliac vein.A 2x90/8fr uni plus halo 75cm wallstent endoprosthesis was advanced for treatment.However, during the procedure, the length of the stent was found to be too short and insufficient.Furthermore, the length of the lesion was 15 to 16 centimeters (cm) while the size of the stent prior to procedure was 9cm and 6 to 7cm after advancing.The stent has been implanted in the blood vessel and cannot be removed; therefore, another of the same device was then used to cover the lesion in order to extend its length.There were no patient complications reported, and the patient was stable post-procedure.
