It was reported that during a moderately calcified, heavily tortuous left subclavian artery intervention, the 6.0 x 39 omnilink elite stent delivery system (sds) was unable to cross through a previously implanted stent and get to the lesion.The sds was removed from and re-inserted into the anatomy three times.After the last removal and re-insertion, the stent was no longer on the delivery system and could not be located, but it was suspected to have dislodged inside the 7 french sheath.There was no adverse patient sequela or a clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
