(b)(4).During processing of this complaint, attempts were made to obtain complete event, patient and device information.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.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.It is likely that as the stent delivery system was advanced, resistance was met with the mildly calcified and heavily tortuous anatomy resulting in the reported physical resistance.Manipulation of the device and/or interaction with other devices and/or the anatomy resulted in the reported stent dislodgement.Based on the information reviewed, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture or labeling of the device.

Event Description
|
It was reported that during a procedure of the mildly calcified, heavily tortuous, mid right coronary artery (rca), the 2.5 x 12 mm xience alpine stent was being advanced with the assistance of a guideliner when, during manipulation at the lesion, the stent dislodged in the anatomy.Several unsuccessful attempts to snare the dislodged stent were made.Another 2.5 mm xience alpine stent was used to crush the stent against the vessel wall in the mid rca.There was no reported adverse patient sequela or a clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
