Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a heavily calcified, heavily tortuous, 99% stenosed de novo lesion in the right coronary artery (rca).Pre-dilatation was performed and a 4x18mm xience v drug eluting stent (des) was advanced towards the target lesion with resistance from the anatomy when the shaft of the device became kinked and separated into two pieces.The device was removed from the anatomy and another 4x18mm xience v des was attempted to be advanced to the target lesion but could not cross the anatomy.A third device was able to be advanced to the target lesion and used to successfully complete the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and 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 did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely the device interacted with the heavily calcified, heavily tortuous and 99% stenosed lesion causing the reported failure to advance.Continued handling and/or manipulation of the device during attempted advancement resulted in the reported shaft kink and subsequent shaft separation of the device.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.D9, h3: device not available for evaluation.
