Event Description

It was reported that this was a procedure to treat a lesion in the heavily calcified superficial femoral artery (sfa).During deployment of the 4.5 x80 mm supera stent in the target lesion, the stent got caught on the nosecone.When the thumbslide was unlocked, the stent disengaged from the nosecone.However, as the sheath was being retracted, the stent was pulled further into the proximal sfa, inside a previously implanted stent.A balloon was used to post dilate the supera stent up against the previously implanted stent.Another self-expanding stent was used to complete the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay during the procedure.No additional information was provided.
