It was reported that the subject flow diverter stent was implanted successfully during the procedure with a minor ledge distally.Thirty minutes post procedure, the patient experienced weakness showing multiple stroke symptoms with weakness in the left side, facial droop and slurred speech prompting a return to angio suite for intervention.It was discovered that the proximal end of the subject flow diverter had collapsed.An additional surgery was performed, where the physician deployed an additional flow diverter stent to open the proximal end of the subject flow diverter stent.Patient is continuing to experience weakness and is still treated in the intensive care unit at the hospital but shows no stroke on imaging.Patient will continue on dapt and intergrelin for now.According to the physician the reported event was due to subject flow diverter stent failure on the proximal end.No further information is available.
