It was reported to boston scientific corporation on (b)(6) 2021 that a wallflex enteral colonic stent was to be implanted to treat a malignant short intrinsic colonic stricture in the distal sigmoid colon during a stent placement procedure performed on (b)(6) 2021.Reportedly, the patient's anatomy was tortuous.During the procedure, upon deploying the stent, the stent prematurely deployed and was placed beyond the stricture.Additionally, it was noted that the delivery system did not have a white marker to indicate the point of no return.A colectomy surgery was performed to resect part of the patient's colon where the stent was deployed and to remove the stent.The patient was admitted to the hospital beyond standard of care.
