Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a mildly tortuous, mildly calcified and 90% stenosed mid left anterior descending artery.After pre-dilatation, a 3.0 x 18 mm xience v stent delivery system was being advanced to the lesion when the physician felt the stent had become loose on the balloon.The stent was implanted in healthy tissue proximal to the lesion site so it could not dislodge from the balloon.The procedure was stopped without treating the lesion.There was no clinically significant delay in procedure.No additional information was provided.
