Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a 90% stenosed, moderately calcified lesion in the mildly tortuous distal circumflex (cx) artery.Pre-dilatation was performed three times using a 1.75mm non-abbott balloon dilatation catheter (bdc).The 2.25x23mm xience xpedition stent delivery system (sds) failed to cross the lesion reportedly due to interactions with the patient's anatomy and was removed without reported issue.Upon withdrawal, the stent implant was noted to be slightly moved/shifted on the balloon, reportedly due to interactions with the calcification in the artery.There were no reported adverse patient effects and no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure.Additional pre-dilatation was performed, and another 2.25x23mm xience xpedition sds was used to successfully complete the procedure.There was no additional information provided.
