Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion in the moderately calcified, moderately tortuous, distal internal carotid artery.During deployment of the x-act freestyle tapered stent; the stent came out of sheath very fast and the stent moved over the lesion, from its intended placement during deployment.The stent deployed partially in the target lesion and partially in healthy tissue, not fully covering the target lesion.A second x-act stent was deployed overlapping the first stent to fully cover the lesion.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
