Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion in an saphenous vein graft to obtuse marginal (svg to om) artery.A 3.50 x 28mm xience skypoint stent delivery system(sds) was attempted to be advanced to the target lesion; however, the stent did not reach the target lesion due to anatomical challenges.Therefore, a decision was made to deploy the stent in healthy tissue only, proximal to the target lesion.Then during removal of the sds, the balloon and an unspecified wire became stuck with the stent.Force was applied and the devices were removed; however, the stent became deformed.Attempts were made to cross with an additional unspecified balloon to the implanted stent for post-dilation; however, a balloon was unable to cross the stent.The procedure ended at this point and the patient was discharged.On (b)(6) 2022, the patient was re-admitted and underwent an extensive catheter procedure in order to dilate the deformed stent and then treat the target lesion.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities that would have contributed to this complaint.Additionally, a review of the complaint history of the reported lot did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.It was reported that force was applied to the stent delivery system (sds) during removal of the device from the anatomy.It should be noted that the xience skypoint instructions for use states: applying excessive force to the delivery system can potentially result in loss or damage to the stent and/or delivery system components.In this case, it is unknown if the ifu deviation contributed to the reported event.The investigation determined the reported failure to advance, malposition of device, difficult to remove, material deformation, and subsequent treatments appear to be related to the operational context of the procedure.Additionally, the investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported difficult to advance.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
