The report states that the physician was performing a thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair with right carotid stenting.The right carotid was attempted first.An 8fr introducer sheath was placed in the right brachial artery.The surgeon reached the target and the 9mm x 59mm stent was advanced over the wire.The right carotid had a very sharp angle and the stent dropped off the catheter to the aortic arch due to the angle.After that the surgeon was able to snare the stent from the aorta through a right femoral artery approach.No harm came to the patient.
