Event Description
|
It was reported that the stent was stretched proximally during deployment, and that the guidewire was unable to be removed from the delivery system.An eluvia eu, 7x120, 130 cm was selected for use to treat peripheral artery disease (pad) in the superficial femoral artery (sfa).The moderately tortuous target lesion was reported to be moderately calcified and 90% stenosed.In preparation for the eluvia, the target lesion was pre-dilated.The eluvia was advanced to the target lesion, but due to the calcification, the middle sheath was unable to be removed.As a result, the entire system was advanced with slight tension and the pull grip was utilized.The stent was deployed successfully within the target lesion, with the proximal portion stretching slightly.The jupiter guidewire used in conjunction with the eluvia system became stuck and the entire device was removed together.There were no reported adverse patient consequences.

Device media analysis: returned product consisted of an eluvia self-expanding stent system with an unknown 0.014-inch guidewire stuck in the device.The outer sheath, tip, inner sheath, and the remainder of the device were checked for damage.Visual examination revealed that the sheath was kinked at the nosecone.The pull rack was separated at the handle.The proximal section of the pull rack did not return for analysis.Microscopic examination revealed no additional damages.The stent was deployed and did not return for analysis.The handle was x-rayed, and the proximal inner was prolapsed.Inspection of the remainder of the device revealed no other damage or irregularities.Product analysis found damage that would have contributed to the deployment issue, froze on wire, and stent deformation.
