Event Description
|
It was reported that the stents foreshortened.Eluvia was selected for use in a lower limb angioplasty and stenting procedure.A downhill puncture was used to access the occluded and stenosed superficial femoral artery (sfa).A 6mm x 200mm sterling balloon was used to predilate the sfa.After balloon angioplasty, a 6mm x 120mm eluvia was inserted into the sfa.After deploying, the eluvia stent foreshortened by at least 20-30mm.This was verified by inserting a 6mm x 120mm balloon as a gauge in angio.It was decided to extend the stent with a 6mm x 40mm eluvia.The same foreshortening of the eluvia stent happened again when the second stent was deployed.Another 6mm x 40mm eluvia was used for extension.The stents were deployed from the proximal to distal sfa.The procedure was successfully completed.No patient complications were reported.

It was reported that the stents foreshortened.Eluvia was selected for use in a lower limb angioplasty and stenting procedure.A downhill puncture was used to access the occluded and stenosed superficial femoral artery (sfa).A 6mm x 200mm sterling balloon was used to predilate the sfa.After balloon angioplasty, a 6mm x 120mm eluvia was inserted into the sfa.After deploying, the eluvia stent foreshortened by at least 20-30mm.This was verified by inserting a 6mm x 120mm balloon as a gauge in angio.It was decided to extend the stent with a 6mm x 40mm eluvia.The same foreshortening of the eluvia stent happened again when the second stent was deployed.Another 6mm x 40mm eluvia was used for extension.The stents were deployed from the proximal to distal sfa.The procedure was successfully completed.No patient complications were reported.It was further reported that "downhill puncture" refers to an antegrade approach that was used to access the 80-90% stenosed and severely calcified target lesion that was located in moderately tortuous anatomy.There was a total of five eluvia stents that were used in this case.It was previously reported that a 6mm x 120mm eluvia stent and a 6mm x 40mm eluvia stent foreshortened; however, it was further clarified that two 6mm x 120mm eluvia stents foreshortened.6mm x 40mm eluvia stents were used for extension of the foreshortened stents.
