Fig. 19.7 Tapering a balloon-expandable stent. (A) The guidewire is passed through an iliac artery
stenosis. (B) The sheath and dilator are advanced through the lesion. (C) The balloon and mounted
stent are advanced through the lesion and the sheath is withdrawn. (D) The balloon-expandable stent
is deployed to a size appropriate to the diameter of the external iliac artery. (E) A larger diameter
angioplasty balloon is used to enlarge the proximal end of the stent. (F) A slight taper of the stent is
created across the iliac bifurcation. Balloon-expandable stents can only be made to taper in a minimal
way, but by flaring the end of the stent, it can often be molded to the appropriate shape.

released from the catheter and it is strongly in con-
tact with the arterial wall, do not adjust its posi-
tion at this point. Dragging the stent aer it has
fully engaged the vessel may cause the structure
at the end of the stent to be mangled. If the stent
has not been deployed in the correct location, the
best solution is to place another stent at the desired
location.
Crossing a stent
Once a stent has been deployed, the guidewire
position across the stent is not relinquished until
the procedure is completed. If the guidewire posi-
tion is lost, or if a repeat study is necessary in a
patient who has a stent, it is best to cross the stent
using a J-tip or oppy tip guidewire (Figure 19.9).
e elbow of the J-tip guidewire is less likely to
pass through the struts of the stent. If there is
any doubt about the position of the guidewire, it
should be withdrawn and a repeat crossing per-
formed. e J-tip guidewire should be able to
twirl and bob freely within the lumen of the stent.
Aerthe guidewire is across the stent, the intralu-
minal position can be checked using a 5-Fr straight
angiographic catheter passed over the wire. Any
resistance as the catheter passes through the stent
indicates a false passage, probably between the
struts of the stent. Use a small eld view for mag-
nication and oblique views if needed. Passing the
guidewire through the interstices of the stent will
lead to complications if it is not recognized that
this has occurred.
Placement of a balloon-expandable
stent without a crossing sheath
Placement of balloon-expandable stents was
designed to be performed with a sheath across
the target site. is permits protection of the
stent from migrating on the delivery catheter in
response to friction. Premounted stents are reliable
and have largely changed this approach to one in
which the stent delivery catheter is passed without
sheath coverage. In certain situations, placement
of the sheath into the desired location across the
lesion is challenging, especially with highly tortu-
ous approach arteries or when the sizable sheath
hangs up on the lesion itself (Figure 19.10). One
option is to advance the premounted stent over the
guidewire and through the lesion without a sheath
for protection. Use a premounted stent that comes
in a package with the stent already sealed onto the
balloon. If treating a critical stenosis, predilate the
lesion so that the stent will pass through without
being dislodged from the balloon.
Technique: Bailout maneuvers for
balloon-expandable stents
1. Sheath will not advance across the lesion.
Dilate the lesion and then advance again.
Consider using a stier guidewire.
2. Balloon with stent will not pass through
the sheath. e sheath may have kinked
(Figure19.11). Visualize under uoroscopy.
Consider pulling the kinked part of the sheath
back into a straighter segment of the artery
and try again to pass the balloon and stent.
If unsuccessful, pull out the balloon and
stent with the sheath but leave the guidewire
in place. Change the sheath and start again.
Consider using a self-expanding stent for tor-
tuous arteries. (Predilate the lesion; use a larger
sheath and stier wire.)

the lesion. (D) The stent is deployed. Because the process of premounting of balloon-expandable
stents has improved, the concern about the stent coming off the balloon before full deployment is
decreased, but the operator should be aware that this could still occur.

while passing a stent delivery catheter, use fluoroscopy to evaluate the sheath.

3. Loose stent inside the sheath. Pull out the
sheath, balloon catheter, and stent. Leave
the guidewire, if possible. Use uoroscopy
to ensure that the stent comes out with the
sheath. If the stent is on the sha of the cath-
eter, the balloon can be inated just slightly in
order to keep the stent on the catheter while
the catheter is being removed.
4. Loose stent on the catheter sha beyond the
end of the sheath. Pull the balloon back into
the stent using the tip of the sheath to pin the
stent. Pull the stent back into the sheath, if
possible. Use a partially inated balloon to
pull the stent and remove the sheath. If the
stent cannot be pulled back into the sheath,
pin the back end of the stent with the tip of
the sheath and deploy in a neutral location
(Figure 19.12).
5. Loose stent on the guidewire. Advance a
small balloon into the stent to are the end
and stabilize it. Deploy in a neutral location
(Figure19.13).
6. Stent embolizes. Use a long sheath and cardiac
biopsy forceps or a loop snare to pull or push
the stent into a favorable location where it can
be abandoned (internal iliac, deep femoral, or
tibial arteries) or retrieved surgically (common
femoral artery).
7. Balloon ruptures during deployment of bal-
loon-expandable stent. Perform high-pressure,
hand-powered balloon ination with saline
solution in an attempt to overwhelm the hole
in the leaky balloon (Figure 19.14). Advance
the sheath to pin the stent so that it is not with-
drawn with the balloon. Rotate and remove the
ruptured balloon, cross the stent with another
balloon, and inate.
8. Dissection at the end of the stent. Place a new
overlapping stent (Figure 19.15).
9. Stent tilts. Some balloon-expandable stents are
too rigid for tortuous arteries. Self-expanding
stents are oen a better choice (Fig ure 19.16).
Place another stent to straighten the curve and
create a smooth surface at the end of the stent.

stent loose on the guidewire.
This is a more severe problem
than having a stent loose on the
catheter shaft. In this situation, the
delivery balloon usually cannot be
used as a tool to help solve the
problem. If the stent is not securely
mounted on the balloon, the stent
may shoot forward off the bal-
loon during inflation. The end of
the stent may be partially flared
and dangling on the guidewire.

to place the appropriately sized
balloon for deployment of the
stent. (D) The appropriately sized
balloon is substituted. (E) The stent
is deployed in a neutral position.
Stents deployed in a neutral posi-
tion in this manner are usually well
tolerated by the patient and do not
cause subsequent problems.

10. Balloon sticks in the expanded stent. Material
is caught in the struts. Do not yank because
the material may fragment. Rotate the cath-
eter, reinate, push gently to advance, and
then withdraw. If that does not work, advance
the sheath so that its tip can at the same time
hold the stent in place and act as a funneling
device to accept the torn balloon.
11. Stent requires surgical removal. If the stent is
expanded but not deployed, retrieving the stent
may be a challenge that requires open surgery.
An artery cannot be occluded with a clamp at the
location of a stent. e ends of the stent are sharp!
12. Avoid deployment of stent in the sheath. Be
sure that the tip of the sheath has been with-
drawn adequately to avoid capturing the end
of the stent.
Technique: Bailout maneuvers for
self-expanding stents
1. End of the stent is not fully expanded. e
hoop strength of the self-expanding stent may
not be adequate to compress the lesion. Dilate
the body of the stent to make sure it is properly
seeded, and then dilate the ends (Figure 19.17).

Fig. 19.15 Dissection at the end
of the stent. (A) A guidewire is
placed across the lesion. (B)Astent
is placed but a dissection flap
develops at the interface between
the lesion and the adjacent nondis-
eased segment. This may occur in
situations in which the stent does
not quite cover the entire diseased
segment or in which aggressive
postdilation was performed at
the edge of the stent and extend-
ing into the adjoining segment
of artery. (C) Another stent is
advanced into position with a slight
overlap of the previously placed
stent. (D) Stent placement repairs
the dissection.
Fig. 19.16 Tilted balloon-expandable stent.
Balloon-expandable stent placement usually
reflects the presence of any significant wire bias.
If there is a tortuous path for the wire, when the
stent is placed, there is a slight tilt reflecting
this dynamic. Occasionally, this is a problem;
one end of the stent may not be opposed to the
artery wall in its intended manner. (A) A guide-
wire is passed through a stenosis along a curve
in the artery. (B) A stent is placed across the
lesion. The combination of the curvature of the
artery and the location of the lesion prevents
the edge of the stent from being well opposed
to the arterial wall. (C) Balloon angioplasty of
the protruding end of the stent is performed.
(D) If angioplasty is not successful, another stent
is placed to force the edge of the stent against
the wall.

2. Stent is undersized for the given artery.
echosen stent is too small. ere is no
goodsolution.
3. Stent extends into an undesired location. It is
worth trying to dilate the opposite end of the
stent; this sometimes leads to foreshortening
of the stent so that it encroaches a little less on
the segment of concern (Figure 19.18). is
works well with a Wallstent
®
. Other types of
self-expanding stents can sometimes be moved
a very short distance by inating a balloon and
pulling gently on the catheter.
4. Stent location is inaccurate. The only way
to avoid this is to deploy the leading end of
the stent at the location of highest interest.
This portion of the deployment process has
the greatest precision (Figure 19.19). The
finished location of the trailing end of the
stent is much less accurate in self-expanding
systems.
5. The end of the stent extends into the hemo-
static introducer sheath. The stent will not
deploy. Sheaths with radiopaque markers
are used fairly routinely. If the tip of the
sheath does not have a radiopaque marker,
it may be difficult to visualize. Puff contrast
through the sheath. Pull the sheath back
slightly while holding the stent delivery
catheter in place to release the crimped stent
(Figure19.20).
6. Stent collapses in its mid-section. Repeat
the angioplasty. If that is unsuccessful, place
a balloon-expandable stent inside the self-
expanding stent (Figure 19.21). is most oen
occurs in the setting of severe calcication and
inadequate vessel preparation.
7. Balloon breaks on the end of the stent. Balloon
the end of the stent last or use a thicker poly-
mer balloon.
8. Artery with stent in it requires clamping. Use
shodded arterial clamp. e artery can be
clamped enough to occlude inow but may
damage the stent. Balloon occlusion can also
be obtained using a standard angioplasty
balloon of 4 cm in length and the appropriate
diameter.
9. Stent requires surgical removal. It is rare
for a stent to require removal. When a self-
expanding stent is removed, it usually comes
out in pieces as the structural integrity of the
stent cannot stand up to the process.

sively along the stent, first in the area of residual

overdilation of the proximal end and the body of
the stent with angioplasty may cause the stent to
shorten a very small amount. Slight traction on
the balloon placed into the body of the stent may
also help to move the distal end of the stent a
millimeter more proximally.

Fig. 19.19 Self-expanding stent location is inaccurate. Deployment should be initiated at the end
where the most accuracy is required. Since self-expanding stents deploy in the direction of the tip
end to the hub end, this should be taken into account when choosing a stent or choosing the direc-
tion from which it will be deployed. (A) An external iliac artery lesion can be approached either
antegrade or retrograde. (B) Self-expanding stent placement through a retrograde approach ensures
precise placement of the proximal end of the stent. (C) The final length of the stent may be difficult
to predict. The distal end of the stent extends into undiseased common femoral artery. (D) Self-
expanding stent placement through an antegrade approach places the distal end of the stent first
because the working room between the inguinal ligament and the lesion is limited. (E) The excess
length of the upper end of the stent extends into the proximal external iliac artery.
Fig. 19.20 Partially deployed self-expanding
stent extends into the delivery sheath. (A) Stent
deployment begins but the second end of the
stent cannot be deployed because the tip of the
access sheath impinges on the stent. This occurs
when the working room between the deploy-
ment site and the arterial entry site is limited.
(B) The hemostatic access sheath is withdrawn
enough to permit the stent to expand. A sheath
with a radiopaque tip may help avoid this prob-
lem. When withdrawing the sheath, hold the
stent delivery catheter firmly and provide back
pressure. If there is a substantial length of stent
within the sheath, this maneuver can cause unde-
sirable elongation of the stent.

ACUTE COMPLICATIONS OF STENT
PLACEMENT
Complications that occur during stent placement
or immediately thereaer include arterial dissec-
tion and/or occlusion, arterial rupture, migration
or embolization of the stent, or embolization of
atherosclerotic material.
Arterial dissection
If acute arterial dissection occurs in juxtaposi-
tion to a stent, an additional stent is placed in this
location (Figure 19.15). e lead point for arterial
dissection associated with stent placement is usu-
ally within a centimeter of the end of the stent.
Astent is placed in this segment even if it is not
clear exactly where the lead point of the dissection
is located.
Arterial occlusion
e stented site may occlude as a result of arterial
dissection or placement of a stent that is not fully
expanded. Aer stent placement, additional bal-
loon dilation is usually performed to ensure full
expansion of the stent.
Arterial rupture
If arterial rupture occurs during stent placement
and the stent has been fully deployed, a balloon
catheter is inserted and placed within the stent
along the area where the rupture is thought to have
occurred. e balloon is then inated. A covered
stent can be placed in the same location or emer-
gency operative repair is undertaken.
Migration or embolization of
thestent
Migration of the stent may occur during deploy-
ment, usually because the size of the stent that was
required was underestimated. Another potential
cause is if the delivery platform is not stable and
begins to move as the stent is deployed. If the stent
has migrated enough that the area of interest has
not been adequately stented, another stent should
be placed in this location.
Embolization of atherosclerotic
material
Distal embolization may occur as a result of
instrumentation of a friable atherosclerotic
lesion. It is unusual for further embolization to
occur aer the entire lesion has been covered
with stents. is is more likely to occur when
treating occlusions.

partially constrained in its mid-section. This is
most likely to occur in a heavily calcified lesion,
especially when it is eccentric, that has not been
adequately prepared prior to stent placement.
(C) Balloon angioplasty is performed.
(D)Because self-expanding stent hoop strength
is low, a recalcitrant lesion may impinge on
the stent, which results in incomplete expan-
sion. A central stent narrowing can also occur
if the stent is placed across a segment with too
sharp a turn. (E) If angioplasty is unsuccessful,
a balloon-expandable stent is placed to resolve
the stenosis.

Chronic complications of stent placement 253
CHRONIC COMPLICATIONS OF
STENT PLACEMENT
Chronic complications from stent placement that
may develop over time include intimal hyperpla-
sia, recurrent stenosis, infection, and damage to
the stent from external forces.
Intimal hyperplasia and recurrent
stenosis
Intimal hyperplasia that causes recurrent stenosis
can be treated with repeat balloon dilation, addi-
tional stents, atherectomy, or drug-coated balloon
angioplasty. Surgery is usually reserved for situa-
tions of multiple endovascular failures. If recurrent
stenosis occurs in juxtaposition to a stent, an over-
lapping stent is placed.
Infection
Infection of a stent is rare and is managed by excis-
ing the stent and the arterial segment.
Stent damage
Stents can be damaged by external forces. Chronic
repetitive shoulder motion with compression of
a stented subclavian artery against the rst rib
leads to stent fracture. Stents can also be crushed,
especially balloon-expandable stents, by arterial
clamps, blood pressure cus, motion at joints, and
external blunt trauma.
