Event Description
|
It was reported that thrombosis, chest pain, bradycardia and guide wire tip detachment occurred.The target lesion was located in the right coronary artery (rca).There was a previously implanted stent in the proximal rca.A 185cm kinetix¿ guide wire was advanced to the lesion however the wire went down a side branch of the rca.The device was pulled back to re-wire distally, however, the device became caught on or behind a stent strut of the previously implanted stent.It was then noted that the tip of the guide wire broke off and was left in the side branch of the rca.The remaining portion of the guide wire was able to be removed.Approximately 5-7 minutes later, the rca was filled with thrombus and the patient was noted to have bradycardia and chest pain.A non bsc guide wire was advanced to the native rca.Then a 3.0x32mm veriflex stent was implanted over the side branch to open up the vessel and to jail the detached tip and the procedure was completed.No further patient complications were reported and the patient's status was fine.

Device evaluated by mfr: returned product consisted of a kinetix guidewire and an extra kinetix guidewire.The extra guidewire was not damaged.The guidewire was completely separated 108.5cm from the proximal end.Magnified inspection of the fracture surface appear to be consistent with separation due to ductile bending overload.The distal end was not returned for analysis.There was no damage or irregularities to the bonds.The manufacturing batch record review confirmed that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The most probable root cause is operational context as device performance was limited due to anatomical procedural factors.(b)(4).
