Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat de novo lesions in the mid left anterior descending (lad) artery and mid left circumflex (lcx)artery.Mild tortuosity and mild calcification was reported for the lad and mild tortuosity and heavy calcification was reported for the lcx.A 2.25 x 23 mm xience v rx stent delivery system (sds) was advanced to the lcx lesion and met resistance with the calcification which caused the stent to dislodge from the balloon.The dislodged stent was deployed outside of the lesion in healthy tissue using another balloon dilatation catheter (bdc).During the same procedure, a 2.25 x 15 xience v rx sds was advanced to the lad but would not cross it due to the anatomy.No further attempts were made, instead the patient was left on medical management.No additional information was provided.

(b)(4).It was initially reported that the device would be returned for analysis; however, the device was not returned.The device was not returned for analysis.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that as the sds was advanced resistance was met with the heavily calcified anatomy resulting in the reported failure to advance and ultimately resulting in the reported stent dislodgement.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
