The stent and pusher were returned.A new microcatheter and introducer were used for the investigation.Upon initial investigation, there did not appear to be any damage to the stent.The stent was able to be resheathed both at 50% and 70% deployment without any issues.The stent was reloaded onto the provided pusher and advanced through a new headway 17 microcatheter smoothly.The stent was deployed out of the distal end of the microcatheter.The complaint is unconfirmed, as the stent was able to be resheathed without any issues, both at 50% and 70% deployment.The root cause for the complaint may have been due to tortuous anatomy preventing the stent from resheathing during the procedure.However, the root cause cannot be definitively determined.
