Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that stent migration occurred which required an additional stent.A 16x90x75 cm venous wallstent was advanced for treatment.During deployment, the stent appeared to stick to the delivery system, resulting in slight migration.A second venous wallstent was selected for use.During deployment, the stent was found to be sticking to the delivery system shaft, causing a delay in fully coming off and expanding.The procedure was completed with these devices.No patient complications were reported as a result of this event.
