Event Description
|
It was reported that stent partial deployment and stent fracture occurred.A 6x120, 130 cm eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system was selected for a superficial femoral artery intervention procedure.The stent was delivered contralaterally; however, once it reached the target location, the stent would not fully deploy.To remove the stent, it was attempted to pull the device out of the patient, but the stent was stretched and ultimately fractured upon removal.Half of the stent remained deployed, and the fractured portion was removed.A non-boston scientific stent graft was used to complete the procedure.There were no patient complications.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device analysis by manufacturer: returned product consisted of an eluvia self-expanding stent system.The outer sheath, tip, inner sheath and the remainder of the device were checked for damage.Visual examination revealed multiple kinks to the outer sheath.The pull rack is separated at the handle and the proximal section did not return for analysis.The stent is separated approximately 8mm from the distal end of the middle sheath and it appears to have been stretched prior to separating.From the proximal end of the stent to the separation is approximately 41mm.The distal section of the stent did not return for analysis.Microscopic examination revealed no additional damages.The lock is no longer on the thumbwheel and did not return for analysis.Inspection of the remainder of the device revealed no other damage or irregularities.
