Event Description
|
A 3.0 x 38 endeavor resolute stent was implanted in the lad to treat a moderately calcified <(>&<)> stenosed lesion.The lesion was pre-dilated.The stent was deployed at 18 atm for 30 seconds in the osteo proximal segment.After deployment, it was noted that the stent had fractured.The physician covered the fractured stent with a 3.5 x 18 mm endeavor resolute.The lesion was post dilated.No patient complications were reported.Image review: the procedural images confirm a tortuous and calcified proximal lad lesion.The lesion is pre-dilated.The eres30038x stent is deployed at 18atms.The stent is post-dilated and kbt is performed in the proximal stent area.Subsequent images show what appears to be a separation of stent crowns in the mid stent segments at the location of a bend in the vessel.Another smaller stent is deployed in this area.The images do confirm stent deformation/material distortion.Please note that this device (endeavor resolute) is distributed outside the united states; however, it is similar to the united states distributed product resolute integrity.

Evaluation, results: patient's condition affected effectiveness of device (lesion morphology); inherent risk of procedure (stent deformation); no results available since no evaluation performed (device not returned for evaluation); failure to follow instructions (balloon inflated beyond rate of burst pressure); deformation problem (stent).Evaluation, conclusions: failure to follow instructions (balloon inflated beyond rate of burst pressure).Device failure/lack of effectiveness related to patient condition (lesion morphology); inherent risk of procedure (stent deformation).(b)(4).
