It was reported the procedure was performed to treat a lesion in the right external iliac artery.A 6x100mm absolute pro self-expanding stent system (sess) was advanced without resistance.The stent partially deployed but ultimately failed, so the sess was being removed when the stent fractured and separated.During removal, the stent interacted with unspecified previously deployed stents and was ultimately deployed in the left external iliac artery.An unspecified balloon was used to embed the stent and separated portion.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Visual and functional analysis was performed on the returned device.The reported deployment issue, difficulty removing, and stent separation were unable to be confirmed due to the condition of the returned unit and the stent was not returned.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other complaints.The investigation was unable to determine a definitive cause for the difficulties.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
