It was reported that a right peroneal artery embolism occurred post right superficial femoral artery (sfa) stenting.The patient was enrolled in the (b)(6) study on (b)(6) 2016 and the index procedure was performed on the same day.The target lesion was located in the right leg mid superficial femoral artery (sfa) extending into the distal sfa with 90% stenosis and was 190mm long with a proximal and distal reference vessel diameter of 5.00mm, and was classified as tasc ii c lesion.The target lesion was treated with placement of a 6x150mm and a 6x100mm eluvia study stent.Following post-dilatation, residual stenosis was 0%.On (b)(6) 2016, during the index procedure, post deployment of the study stents, completion angiogram of the runoff revealed some evidence of embolism in the tibioperoneal trunk, which was decided to treat with aspiration thrombectomy.An additional angiogram was performed which revealed that the embolic material had moved into the proximal portion of the peroneal artery and the posterior tibial artery was widely patent.On the same day, the embolism noted in the proximal portion of the peroneal artery was treated with aspiration thrombectomy.A completion angiogram demonstrated that there was good flow through the peroneal artery, with no evidence of embolic material within the peroneal artery.
