It was reported that the stent partially deployed, fractured, and elongated.A 5 x 200 x 130 innova¿ stent was selected for a procedure in the superficial femoral artery.Deployment of the device was initiated over the 0.035 non-bsc guidewire.After approximately 75% of the stent was deployed, the device would no longer deploy.The pull grip was attempted to be used but did not work.The stent fractured at the last quarter and the last quarter remained within the delivery system.The two stent portions were removed.The deployed portion of the stent was removed by snaring the corner of the strut and pulling the device out through the sheath.It appeared as if the stent was elongated.The procedure was completed with three other smaller stents.There were no patient complications and the patient was fine.
