It was reported that the procedure was to treat a right internal carotid artery.In (b)(6) 2017, an xact stent was implanted without issue.On (b)(6) 2019, the patient then experienced vision loss.Therefore, the patient was sent for treatment the same day.Via angiography, it was noted that the xact stent was fractured (but not in two pieces).During preparation of an emboshield nav6, it was difficult to load the filter onto the delivery catheter (dc) pod.However, after some manipulation the filter was able to load onto the dc pod successfully and was used without issue.Then three unspecified stents were used to successfully treat the fractured stent.The patient is fine.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
