It was reported that stent deployment difficulty and stent damage occurred.Vascular access was obtained via a contralateral approach.The 100% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and moderately calcified superficial femoral artery (sfa).After predilation, a 7mm-180mm/130cm innova¿ stent was advanced to the target lesion.The thumbwheel used with normal force until the white arrow was visible.The stent was deployed without issue with the thumbwheel up to 12cm.Then the pull grip was attempted to be pulled, but it was very hard and could not pull at all.While removing the device, the stent was stretched and pulled out from the delivery system and implanted inside the patient's body.The 18cm stent was stretched to about 26cm.The procedure was completed.The pull grip was able to pull without resistance encountered post procedure.No patient complications were reported and the patient's condition was good.
