Event Description

It was reported that during a procedure to treat a plaque rupture in the mid right coronary artery.A pre-percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) run was performed using a dragonfly catheter without issue.An unspecified xience stent was implanted and the post pci run was performed without issue; however, during removal of the dragonfly catheter it got caught with the implanted stent causing the stent to become crushed.The dragonfly catheter was able to be withdrawn with resistance from the patient anatomy.The physician attempted to re-open the stent without success and ended up implanting an additional unspecified xience stent to crush the damaged stent to the vessel wall.There was no adverse patient effect and no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure.While performing review of the optical coherence tomography (oct) runs after the procedure it was noted that the guide wire and dragonfly catheter were not coaxial and too far apart.No additional information was provided.
