Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient presented with an inferior wall myocardial infarction and the procedure was to treat a 30% stenosed with heavy thrombus and mildly calcified vessel in the right coronary artery (rca).The 3.5x48mm xience xpedition stent delivery system (sds) reached the target lesion and was deployed with a pressure of 10 atmospheres (atms), however, there was moderate resistance as the balloon was stuck to the stent post-deployment during removal.While retrieving the sds, half of the balloon material was left in the artery.The separated portion is partially floating in the aorta and the rest of the balloon material is stuck in the stent implanted in the rca.The proximal part was withdrawn easily.The physician tried to retrieve the balloon with a snare device but was unsuccessful.Re-occlusion occurred.It was noted that the total procedure time extended to 6 hours.Patient is still admitted in the hospital with oxygen support.Prolonged hospitalization led to right ventricular failure & hypotension, cardiogenic shock, metabolic acidosis, thrombocytopenia with platelet count of 32,000, anemia (hemoglobin 7) and acute kidney injury with creatinine 2.3.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no similar incidents from this lot.The reported patient effects of occlusion and hypotension are listed in the xience xpedition everolimus eluting coronary stent systems instructions for use as known patient effects of coronary stenting procedures.The investigation determined the reported difficulties and treatment appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely the deflated balloon interacted with the deployed stent during removal causing the reported difficulty to remove and subsequent material separation.The reported patient effects and treatment appear to be related to operational context of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
