Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a heavily calcified left anterior descending artery (lad) lesion.A 3.50x 28mm xience skypoint stent delivery system (sds) was used with a dual rotating hemostasis value (rhv); however, resistance was met and too much force at an angle was applied.The sds snapped into two pieces at the proximal shaft.The location of the separation was outside the anatomy; therefore, the sds was simply removed from the patient with no issues.Another xience skypoint was used to continue the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and there was no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
