It was reported that the stent migrated.A 16x120mm, 100cm vici was selected for use.The patient had significant compression bilaterally, and it was planned to treat bilaterally.During the entire procedure, the patient was noted to be non-compliant and was continuously moving, which caused difficulty.There were two venous access points at the groin.A venogram was performed, and intravascular ultrasound (ivus) was used to help size the stent.Measurements were performed, which indicated that a 16x120mm vici stent was appropriate.The compression area was approximately 68mm squared: 7.1mm x 11.5mm at the min and max diameters.The compressed lesion area was 8mm.The reference vein diameter central to the compression was approximately 170mm squared: 10.6mm x 20.4mm at the min and max diameters.The healthy portion of the vein was approximately 15mm average diameter.The reference vein diameter proximal to the compression was approximately 146mm squared: 10mm x 14mm at the min and max diameters.The stent was deployed successfully and placed as intended.Immediately after deployment, the patient moved and bore down.The wire moved back.Post-ballooning had not yet been performed.The ivus catheter was advanced in order to image and re-advance the wire.Upon physician review with ivus, it was noted that the distal end of the stent had moved from the distal common iliac to level with the l2 vertebra.The stent migrated up into the inferior vena cava.The patient was stable, but the stent was tacked down, and the patient was transferred to another facility for further treatment.Upon transfer to another facility, a partner physician confirmed with a wire that the stent would not migrate to the heart and then went in through the right jugular down to snare and retrieve the stent.Through the jugular again, the previous lesion measurements were confirmed, and another 16x120mm vici stent was placed successfully.It was noted that the case went well, and there was good apposition.The patient was doing well.The physician believes this was a patient issue (patient noncompliance, movement, and bearing down) that caused the stent to migrate.While it could not be confirmed, there was also discussion of potential interaction of the wire and/or ivus catheter with the stent when the patient moved.
