Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.The reported patient effects of death, perforation, and ventricular fibrillation/arrhythmia are listed in the xience skypoint everolimus eluting coronary stent systems instructions for use (ifu) as known patient effects of coronary stenting procedures.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effects, and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined; however, the subsequent treatments appear to be related to the operational context of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.

Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient presented in poor condition with an ejection fraction of 10% (normal 50-65%), friable vessels, chest pain and a history of coronary heart disease.During the procedure, the 5.00x28mm xience skypoint stent was advanced to the lesion in the saphenous vein graft (svg), and deployed at 12 atmospheres; after which, a large perforation was noted, due to the friable vessel.Three non-abbott covered stents were implanted to successfully seal the perforation; however, the patient went into ventricular fibrillation.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed and the automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (aicd) defibrillated the patient a couple of times.Additionally, the patient was defibrillated multiple times with an external defibrillator, but could not be resuscitated and died.In the physician's opinion, the xience stent did not cause the perforation.The perforation was due to the patient having a friable vessel.The xience stent had no device issues.No additional information was provided.
