    ACCORDING TO THE LITERATURE ARTICLE BY SLONIM, S. M., DAKE, M. D., RAZAVI, M. K., KEE, S. T., SAMUELS, S. L., RHEE, J. S., & SEMBA, C. P. (1999). MANAGEMENT OF MISPLACED OR MIGRATED ENDOVASCULAR STENTS. JOURNAL OF VASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY : JVIR, 10(7), 851¿859. HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.1016/S1051-0443(99)70127-2, A PALMAZ P308 STENT AND A PALMAZ P394 STENT WERE INTENDED TO BE PLACED IN THE SUPERIOR VENA CAVA (SVC) BUT MIGRATED TO THE RIGHT COMMON ILIAC VEIN (R CIV) DUE TO BOTH STENTS BEING TOO SMALL. THE PALMAZ P308 STENT WAS REPOSITIONED IN THE RIGHT COMMON ILIAC VEIN (R CIV) PERCUTANEOUSLY WITH ANOTHER UNKNOWN 3-5MM BALLOON CATHETER. THE PALMAZ P394 WAS REPOSITIONED IN THE LEFT EXTERNAL ILIAC VEIN (L EIV) PERCUTANEOUSLY WITH ANOTHER UNKNOWN 3-5MM BALLOON CATHETER. BECAUSE THE PALMAZ P394 DID NOT OPPOSE THE WALLS OF THE VEIN, ANOTHER NON CORDIS 24MM STENT WAS USED. THE DEVICES WILL NOT BE RETURNED FOR EVALUATION.
