Event Description
|
It was reported that on (b)(6) 2015, a 3.0x28mm absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (bvs) was successfully implanted in the mid left anterior descending (lad) artery and 3.5x23mm, 3.5x18mm, and 3.5x12mm scaffolds were successfully implanted in the proximal lad.On (b)(6) 2016, the patient was admitted to the hospital for unstable angina following exertion, lasting several minutes.The angina improved with nitroglycerine spray.Slightly elevated troponin was noted and no ischemic changes were observed per electrocardiogram.Another percutaneous intervention was performed via balloon angioplasty in the proximal left anterior descending (lad) coronary artery severely restenosed lesion, and in the diagonal coronary artery ostium.Per physician, the event was unrelated to the implanted scaffolds and unrelated to the index procedure.Reportedly, there are concerns if the patient is complaint with dual antiplatelet therapy (dapt).The event resolved without sequela.There was no additional information provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.The reported patient effects of angina and restenosis, as listed in the bioresorbable vascular scaffold (bvs) system, absorb, instructions for use (ifu), are known adverse event associated with the use of a coronary scaffold in native coronary arteries.Based on the case information and related record review, a conclusive cause for the reported patient effects and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined and there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacture or labeling of the device.The absorb device is currently not commercially available in the u.S; however, it is similar to a device sold in the us.
