Event Description
|
It was reported the stent partially deployed, stretched, and fractured.Atherectomy and ballooning with non-boston scientific devices of the right peroneal artery and right superficial artery (sfa) was performed.A 6x120, 130 cm eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system was selected for use and was advanced over a non-boston scientific guidewire.Deployment of the device was initiated.Only the distal half of the stent was deployed.The eluvia catheter was pulled back while turning the thumbwheel.The remaining proximal half deployed.Stent elongation and fracture occurred.Half of the stent was in the distal sfa and the other half was 120mm superior to the deployment location.A 6x100x130 innova was implanted to connect the two eluvia stent fragments.The procedure was successfully completed and the patient was in good health.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by manufacturer: returned product consisted of an eluvia self-expanding stent system with a 0.014" guidewire stuck in the device.The outer sheath, tip, inner sheath and the remainder of the device were checked for damage.Visual examination revealed a kink to the outer sheath at the nosecone.The pull rack is separated, and the proximal end is missing.There is approximately 7mm of the rack sticking out from the handle.Microscopic examination revealed no additional damages.X-ray of the handle showed that the proximal inner is prolapsed.The stent was deployed and did not return for analysis.Inspection of the remainder of the device, revealed no other damage or irregularities.Product analysis could not confirm the reported stent deformation but did find damage that would have contributed to deployment issues.
