Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a heavily calcified, heavily tortuous, de novo lesion in the mid right coronary artery (mrca).A 2.5x33mm xience prime drug eluting stent (des) was advanced but could not cross due to the anatomy.During attempts to cross, the proximal shaft separated in two pieces, however all pieces of the device were simply removed from the anatomy.A 2.5x15mm xience prime des was then attempted, however, it simply could not cross the anatomy.No other device was able to cross the anatomy, and the procedure was aborted.The patient was kept on medical management.There were no reported adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delays in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
A visual and dimensional inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported material separation was confirmed.The reported failure to advance could not be evaluated as the exact anatomical conditions encountered by the device during the procedure could not be replicated in the test laboratory.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.The investigation determined the reported difficulties 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.
