It was reported that the procedure was to treat a moderately calcified, mildly tortuous, 90% stenosed lesion in the right common iliac artery.A 9.0x39mm omni elite vascular balloon-expandable stent (bes) was advanced into a 7f non-abbott guiding sheath when the bes met resistance with the tip of the sheath causing the stent to dislodge.After removal of the delivery catheter, the stent remained unexpanded with half of the stent was in the guiding sheath and the other half in the iliac artery.The stent was snared out.There was no adverse patient sequela and no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure or therapy.A new same size omni elite bes was advanced through an 8f sheath successfully.No additional information was provided.
