It was reported that the vascular stent allegedly jumped approximately 10cm forward as it was being deployed in the superficial femoral artery (sfa) through an antegrade approach.It was further reported that an additional 100mm vascular stent was used however, the stent also jumped and twisted during deployment, misplacing this vascular stent further.Therefore, a balloon expandable stent was then used to straighten the 100mm vascular stent, bridged the gap, covered the lesion, and completed the procedure.There was no reported patient injury.
