Event Description
|
It was reported that the device became entrapped on the guidewire.A 6 x 120 x 130 cm eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent was selected to be implanted in the 100% stenosed superficial femoral artery (sfa).The tortuosity and calcification of the lesion in the sfa were characterized as moderate.Vascular access to the sfa was obtained via a contralateral approach using a non-bsc sheath.The sheath was inserted into the back of the knee, and the procedure was performed by securing two routes.The stent was successfully advanced to the lesion using an aguru support 300cm guidewire and then deployed.It was noted that the pull grip was hard and not normal.However, the stent was still able to be deployed successfully.The delivery system was then attempted to be removed.However, it could not be removed and no irregularities to the device were seen on fluoroscopy.The entire system was then removed from the patient.It was observed that the guidewire was stuck in the wire lumen of the delivery system.
