It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a lesion in the circumflex coronary artery with no calcification and no tortuosity.The 3.0x08 xience skypoint stent delivery system (sds) was advanced to the lesion and then prepped.Inflation was attempted.The balloon was able to get to 16 atmospheres after one inflation; however, the device was not holding pressure and a rupture was noted.The stent was 90% deployed.A non-compliant (nc) balloon was used for post-dilatation to complete deployment of the stent.There were no adverse patient effects and there was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

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.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no similar incidents from this lot.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported difficulties.The reported treatment appears to be related to operational context of the procedure.It was reported xience skypoint stent delivery system (sds) was advanced to the lesion and then prepped, and then inflation was attempted.It should be noted that the xience skypoint everolimus eluting coronary stent system instruction for use states: while introducing the delivery system into the vessel, do not induce negative pressure on the delivery system.This may cause dislodgement of the stent from the balloon.In this case, it does not appear the instruction for use (ifu) deviation related to incorrect stent preparation contributed to the reported difficulties.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
