Event Description
|
It was reported that the stent partially deployed and became stretched, requiring additional stent placement.This 7x150, 130 cm eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system was selected for use in a peripheral stenting procedure.The 100% stenosed target lesion was located in the severely calcified, mildly tortuous right superficial femoral artery.Prior to the use of this eluvia device, the lesion was first treated with atherectomy and a balloon.A contralateral approach was performed, and the stent was deployed halfway when deployment became stuck.The thumb wheel was used but became stuck and quite a bit of force was required to turn it.The pull grip was then used and was pulled completely back.The stent was able to fully deploy; however, it became stretched to approximately twice its original length.Two additional stents were placed to cover the stretched stent.There were no patient complications.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
Device eval by manufacturer: upon receipt at our post market quality assurance laboratory, this 7x150, 130 cm eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system was returned with an unknown 0.014-inch guidewire stuck in the device.The outer sheath, tip, inner sheath, and the remainder of the device were inspected for damage.Visual examination revealed that the handle was partially open, and the pull rack was separated.The proximal section of the separated pull rack was not returned for analysis.Microscopic examination revealed no additional damage.The stent was deployed and was not returned 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 and stent deformation.
