In the FDA's words

Description
AXIOS Stent and Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System - 6mm x 8mm; Material Number (UPN): M00553680; Increased reports of stent deployment and expansion issues. The most common outcome reasonably foreseeable resulting from difficulty deploying the stent is prolongation of the procedure to exchange the device for a new one. The most serious reasonably foreseeable outcome in cases where the first flange is unable to deploy or expand would be a cascade of events resulting in additional intervention, either endoscopic or surgical, to remove the stent and close the puncture site.

Boston Scientific AXIOS stent system recalled for deployment risk

Boston Scientific is recalling six versions of its AXIOS Stent and Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System after reports that the stent did not deploy or expand properly. The most likely result is a longer procedure while the device is swapped for a new one. In rare cases, the stent may need to be removed through a second endoscopic or surgical procedure. No injuries have been reported.
