As reported by the distributor / user facility - the sleeve just came off the stent.I introduced the cp covered stent the way i always introduce it, but it was somewhat difficult to get through the 14fr d'vill sheath.The stent was on an 18mm bib and it should have gone without a snag.We redid it with a different cp stent and everything went great and no snags, so i don't know if there was something with the sleeve itself but the sleeve completely came off.The indication the physician was using the product for was coarctation of the aorta.There was no difficulty mounting the stent.The covering came completely off when being introduced into the 14fr d'vill.(b)(6) 2020 - in an email from the account: only saline was used during the prep.Physician hand mounted in the usual way and used the enclosed sleeve to introduce through the valve of the d'vill sheath.Instructions for use and mounting procedure were followed.The 14fr introducer included in the packet with the cp covered stent was used.With introduction of the stent/balloon complex physician felt resistance going through the d'vill sheath.Physician did not feel comfortable pushing any further and therefore removed the complex and noted that the covering was completely off of the stent with the stent being firmly positioned on the balloon and had not migrated at all.
