Event Description
|
The patient was admitted for an elective percutaneous coronary intervention (pci).Angiography of the acd/right coronary artery (rca) showed a tortuous lesion with shepherd's crook, with intensely calcified lesion of 70% in the proximal third, and intensely calcified lesions of 50% in the middle and distal thirds.An attempt was made to use one 3.5x38mm resolute onyx coronary drug eluting stent (des) to treat a moderately tortuous, severely calcified lesion with 70-90% stenosis in the mid-distal rca.The lesion was pre-dilated.The device did not pass through a previously deployed stent.Resistance was encountered when advancing the device.It was reported that the 3.5x38mm resolute onyx des fractured at the body of the stent catheter during advancement.It was also reported that the balloon ruptured during navigation.It was detailed that initial intravascular ultrasound (ivus) study of the rca showed diffuse fibro-calcified atheromatosis, with intense calcification.A new ivus run was attempted without success and there was a probable fracture of the ivus catheter.Images were not obtained.Rotoblation was performed.Multiple and sequential pre-dilations were then performed in the proximal/mid avpd artery, and the proximal, mid and distal dca artery with a 2.0x12mm sc balloon.A 3.0x38mm resolute onyx des, was implanted in the distal rca/proximal-mid avpd and inflated to 12 atm.Multiple and sequential post-dilations were performed with a 3.25x12mm nc balloon up to 24 atm.Multiple attempts were made to implant the 3.5x38mm resolute onyx des in the mid third of the dca without success, with fracture of the body of the stent catheter and deterioration of the al 1 guide catheter.The guide catheter was changed to a jr 4 device.A second extra-support guidewire was passed through the distal bed of the dca, followed by the implantation of a 4.0x38mm resolute onyx des in the proximal rca, inflated to 12 atm, and a 3.5x34mm resolute onyx des in the proximal-mid rca, in overlap fashion, inflated to 12 atm.Multiple and sequential post-dilations were performed with the stent balloon up to 24 atm.Several attempts were made to cross with various devices.Control angiography of the rca was performed with patent ppv and well implanted and expanded stents and distal timi 3 flow.It was stated that the fracture of the devices occurred due to the complex anatomical characteristics of the target artery.The patient progressed post procedure in a stable manner with a complaint of mild chest pain.It was later confirmed that the patient deceased.

Product analysis: the device was returned for analysis.The device returned with a detachment on the hypo-tube.Kinks were evident on the hypo-tube distal to the detachment site.The hypo-tube material was oval and jagged on both sides of the detachment site.No deformation evident to the stent.Deformation was evident to the distal tip.The balloon was inflated to 12atm and held pressure with no issues noted.The balloon deflated with no issues noted.No other damage evident to the remainder of the device.Additional information: there was no use of an insufflator at any time.The rupture occurred during navigation inside the patient's artery, it broke between the introducer and the lesion.The reason why the balloon ruptured is unknown.The new ivus device used was a non-medtronic device.Correction: annex a code a1502.Medtronic submits this report to comply with fda regulations 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to provide as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.Medtronic will submit a supplemental report if additional relevant information becomes known.
