It was reported that during a stent placement procedure in the mesenteric artery, the healthcare provider (hcp), aware of the off-label indication for use, predilated the lesion and advanced the balloon expandable vascular covered stent when it became stuck on the edge of the mesenteric artery.It was further reported that upon attempt to pull it back, the stent allegedly dislodged from the balloon and embolized down the leg to the profunda.The stent was unable to be retrieved and no further attempts will be made as it was determined that the location of the embolized stent does not pose as a health hazard to the patient.The procedure was completed by performing angioplasty.There was no reported patient injury.
