It was reported that the catheter broke.This 7x120, 130 cm eluvia self-expanding stent was selected for use in a left lower extremity angiogram with intervention procedure.The target lesion was a long chronic total occlusion segment from the proximal superficial femoral artery (sfa) to the mid popliteal artery.Pre-dilation of the vessel was performed, then this stent was used with a non-boston scientific guidewire.After the stent was implanted, as the stent catheter was being moved out of the body, a piece of the catheter broke off while coming out of the sheath.There were no patient complications as a result of this event.
