According to the initial reporter, it (stent) was only mildly encrusted but i think the primary issue was the proximal tail being stuck in tight infundibulum and i could not extract it the first time around (it torn down into a wire which i cut and left in situ the firs time around).After using the flex-xs2 and opening the infundibulum up with a laser i was able to manually retract it down.I¿m glad this worked as the next step was some type of open/robotic procedure which would have been much more morbid.Per physician - no other adverse issue though patient is prone to uti and felt unwell after first procedure.
