| Reason/Issue |
An investigation of field complaints indicates an increased number of deployment issues. Non-deployments were reported as well partial deployments of the stent. Partially deployed stents may require additional intervention by a doctor due to stent elongation or fracture.
This does not affect any patients with an implanted stent of this length since the problem may only occur during the implantation of the stent. |
