Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that stent damage and migration occurred.A 6x60 eluvia was selected to treat a lesion located in the proximal superficial femoral artery (sfa).During stent deployment, the catheter sheath caught the stent and pulled the stent backwards proximally.The stent elongated as a result.The stent was deployed; however, in a more proximal location than intended.A long sheath was advanced through the eluvia stent which caused the eluvia to move slightly.A 7x80 innova was then deployed to "smooth out" the eluvia stent and connect it to a previously deployed stent in the sfa.The procedure was completed.There were no patient complications.
