The traditional dogma is for PTA failures in FMD to go to the surgeon. In a case like yours, where a very short stent is placed, I don't think any bridges are burned. The surgeons usually rasect the involved segment, so the presence of a SHORT stent, if it eventually failed, should not pose a problem. Nice work.
