Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a mildly tortuous, non-calcified concentric lesion in the distal left anterior descending coronary artery.On (b)(6) 2017, a 2.50 x 38 mm xience alpine stent was implanted at the lesion for angina pectoris.On (b)(6) 2017, the patient experienced myocardial infarction (mi) which led to stent thrombosis, within 5 mm either side of and including the stent margin, being discovered.The patient suffered a cardiac arrest following mi.Angiography and intravascular ultrasound confirmed the thrombosis.A 3.0 x 28 mm xience alpine stent was implanted in the same lesion.The patient remains hospitalized.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Type of reportable event changed from serious injury to death.The device was not returned for evaluation.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 effect(s) of death, renal failure, myocardial infarction, and thrombosis are listed in the xience alpine, everolimus eluting coronary stent systems instructions for use as known patient effects of coronary stenting procedures.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effect(s), and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.

Event Description

Subsequent to the initially filed mdr, additional information was attained.Intravascular ultrasound (ivus) was performed after implantation of the 2.5 x 38mm xience alpine stent and no issue was observed.After treatment of the thrombosis, the patient experienced cardiac arrest following mi and then developed renal failure which ended up with multiple organ failure (mof).On (b)(6) 2017, the patient died.An autopsy was not performed.A decision was made that a causal relationship between the xience alpine and the patients death is unknown but that the device did not cause the circumstances of the event.
