It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a lesion in the saphenous vein graft.During use of an unspecified device, a perforation occurred.The 4.0 x 26 mm graftmaster stent delivery system was removed from the packaging for device preparation; however, the stent dislodged from the delivery system.The device was not used and there was no patient involvement.The procedure continued.An unspecified embolic protection filter was placed.The 4.0 x 16 mm graftmaster stent was then advanced into the patient anatomy.The stent was deployed without issue, sealing the perforation.However, during removal of the filter, the retrieval catheter interacted with the implanted graftmaster stent, moving the stent out of position, so that it no longer fully covered the perforation.An additional graftmaster stent, a 4.5 x 26 mm, was then deployed, sealing the perforation and anchoring the 4.0 x 16 mm graftmaster stent.The perforation was sealed and there was no adverse patient effect.There was no clinically significant delay.No additional information was provided.
