Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a 90% stenosed, mildly calcified and mildly tortuous vessel in the superficial femoral artery (sfa).The 5.0x120mm absolute pro self-expanding stent system (sess) was advanced to the target lesion.However, upon deployment there was resistance when rolling back the thumbwheel and the stent partially deployed.While continuing to rotate the thumbwheel, the sess made an abnormal sound and the unreleased stent portion was found to be broken.However, the stent was completely deployed in the vessel.The physician withdrew the sess without the stent since it was implanted.Another same size absolute pro was used to cover the broken stent.There was no adverse patient sequela and there was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.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 other similar complaints reported from this lot.The investigation was unable to determine a cause for the reported difficulties resulting in unexpected medical intervention.It may be possible that the distal shaft was bent or restricted within the anatomy (possibly at the aortic bifurcation) preventing the shaft lumens from moving freely and causing resistance with the thumbwheel.Continued force applied in the attempt to rotate the thumbwheel may have placed excessive tension on the ribbon which may have caused the outer member to separate at the shuttle resulting in the abnormal sound and preventing further deployment.However, without having the device to examine, this could not be confirmed.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.D9/h3: return status updated.
