Event or Problem Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a long segment chronic total occlusion located in the severely calcified/fibrosed superficial femoral artery.The vessel diameter was 5 mm and was pre-dilated using a 5 mm balloon at high pressure.The 4.5 x 100 mm supera stent delivery system (sds) was advanced to the lesion; however, after deployment of the stent for about 5 mm it stopped deploying due to the deployment mechanism jamming.Retraction of the stent delivery system was performed using angiography.During retraction of the stent delivery system the tip of the catheter separated; however, the sheath with the stent inside and tip were able to be removed leaving nothing in the patient.Another stent was used to complete the case.There was no adverse patient effects or clinically significant delay in the procedure reported.No additional information was provided.
