It was reported that the stent was difficult to deploy and was malpositioned.This 6x200x130 innova stent system was selected for use in a stenting procedure.The 70% stenosed, moderately calcified, moderately tortuous lesion was located in the superficial femoral artery.The lesion was pre-dilated with a 4x150 mustang balloon.During deployment of this stent via a contralateral approach, the delivery system malfunctioned, and the stent was malpositioned.It was noted that the stent deployed smoothly up to approximately 120mm.Then the pull grip was used to release the full stent; however, after 120mm resistance was felt on the pull grip.The stent was able to be deployed and fully covered the lesion and there were no patient complications.
