Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a 90% stenosed and moderately calcified lesion in the proximal superficial femoral artery.A 6f x 45cm sheath was advanced through the 5.5mm vessel.The vessel was prepared with atherectomy and dilatation with a 6.0x100mm armada 18 balloon catheter for one minute at 8 atmospheres.During deployment of a 5.5x80mm supera self-expanding stent system (sess), the tip of the sess became caught with the stent and separated inside the sheath.When removing the sess from the patient the stent was pulled back into the sheath as well.The sheath was removed and the catheter tip and stent were both removed from the patient under fluoroscopy.The procedure was successfully completed with balloon angioplasty and the deployment of an unspecified supera stent.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
