Additional codes added to h6.Additional images were provided by the physician.The images provided could not confirm the complaint, the braids on the stent are visible on one slide; however, it cannot be determined if the device inner stent is opening to its full diameter on the proximal end (fish mouthing).To investigate further, a case simulation was performed with an analog vessel model.A sample fred4513 device was implanted in analog tortuous lica vessel with similar tortuosity.The analog vessel diameter in the proximal cavernous ica section is larger compared to the given case.Microdynact imaging of the implanted fred4513 sample confirmed no layer separation at the proximal end; the device opening was good despite vessel tortuosity.
