This suggests that the sent has probably traveled to a small vessel without major functional significance. The long term consequences from this are rare. It is very unlikely to get claudications or such symptoms of arterial insufficiency from this as the stent is very small in diameter and usually goes to a small blood vessel without major functional consequence. Venous ulcers can not occur from this as the stent is on the arterial side of the circulation and so can not jeopardize the venous flow. I hope I have adequately responded to your concern.
