It was reported to boston scientific corporation that an agile esophageal stent was to be implanted to treat an anastomatic stricture in the esophagus during an esophageal stent placement procedure performed on (b)(6) 2023.During the procedure, the stent prematurely deployed before the distal handle was completely pulled back, which caused the stent to become deformed and migrate into the patient's stomach.The stent was removed, and the physician completed the procedure by administering steroids and using a cre balloon.The patient will be rescheduled for another stent placement procedure.There were no patient complications as a result of this event.
