Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient presented with chronic stable angina and the procedure was to treat a de novo lesion in the ramus interventricular anterior (riva), which is the left anterior descending (lad) artery, with 90% stenosis, heavy calcification and heavy tortuosity and the right circumflex (rcx) artery with heavy calcification as well but no tortuosity.The patient had a bifurcation stenosis of the rcx and riva.Kissing balloon technique was chosen for therapy.After that it was decided to implant a xience pros stent.The stent delivery system (sds) was introduced into the left main (lm) artery, where it detached from the balloon due to calcification.The stent was pulled back with the help of a second balloon over a second guidewire into the artery radialis, where it became deformed and couldn't be pulled out through the sheath, it was tangled in the artery.The dislodged stent remained in the artery.The procedure took a break and then the procedure started in the left arm.Two guidewires were placed in the riva and rcx.A second xience pros stent was implanted into the rcx, which was also somewhat more difficult to pass the lm artery than normal.The control showed multiple dissections in the lm, riva and rcx after the stent was re-dilated.The patient required resuscitation.Angiography was done.Thrombus was observed.When the patient became stable, the thrombus occluded riva was recanalized and showed blood flow again.The patient died on the operating table.In the physician's opinion, neither of the xience pros stents caused or contributed to the death.The patient died of asystole.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The product was not returned to abbott vascular for analysis.A review of the electronic lot history record (elhr), corrective action tracking system for the web (catsweb) database review and similar incident query for this product was not performed because the part/lot numbers were not reported.The reported patient effects of cardiac arrest, dissection, and death are listed in the xience sierra/pros everolimus eluting coronary stent systems instructions for use as known patient effects of coronary stenting procedures.In this case, it is likely that the stent delivery system (sds) interacted with the patient¿s heavily calcified lesion during advancement, as resistance was noted, resulting in the reported difficult to advance.Additionally, in the physician's opinion, both xience pros stents did not cause or contribute to the death.The investigation determined the reported difficulties and subsequent treatments appear to be related to the operational context of the procedure; however, a conclusive cause for the reported patient effects, and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
