It was reported that stent damage occurred.The 99% stenosed target lesion was located in the severely tortuous and severely calcified external iliac artery.After a guide wire crossed the lesion and pre-dilatation was performed, an 8x40x75 epic¿ vascular stent was advanced for treatment.However, the distal tip got caught in the calcification and it failed to cross the lesion.The device was completely removed and it was noted that the distal tip of the stent struts were slightly lifted.The procedure was completed with a different device.No patient complications were reported and the patient¿s status was stable.
