Event Description
|
It was reported that stent partial deployment occurred, resulting in a cancelled procedure.The 90% stenosed target lesion was located in a severely tortuous and severely calcified superficial femoral artery.A 7x120, 130 cm eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system was selected to treat the peripheral arterial disease in the percutaneous angioplasty procedure.The lesion was pre-dilated with a coyote balloon.When deploying the stent, it was noted that the thumbwheel was rotated using a strong force and the pull grip was used once the white arrow was seen.However, when deploying the stent, it failed to deploy.It was noticed that the stent had stretched during the attempted placement, indicating that it had partially deployed.The procedure was not completed due to this event.There were no patient complications reported.

Device evaluated 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 that the stent is partially deployed 3cm from the distal end of the middle sheath.The partially deployed stent appears to be separated and only measures 9.4cm long.The distal section of the separated stent did not return for analysis.Microscopic examination revealed no additional damages.The stent was deployed and did not return for analysis.Inspection of the remainder of the device, revealed no other damage or irregularities.Product analysis found damage that would have contributed to the reported event.
