Event Description
|
It was reported that, on (b)(6) 2013, a 3.5x18mm xience prime stent was successfully implanted in the distal right coronary artery (rca).On (b)(6) 2017, stenosis was noted in the mid to distal rca.There was restenosis of the xience prime stent with recurrent myocardial ischemia.On (b)(6) 2017, the patient was hospitalized for target lesion revascularization.On (b)(6) 2017, dilatation was performed in the mid and distal rca, 90% stenosed lesions.A non-abbott stent was implanted in the mid rca and a new bypass graft was planned for the distal rca.Post stent implantation in mid rca, blood flow through the vessel became slow.The patient experienced chest pain, no blood flow was noted, and blood pressure dropped.Ventricular tachycardia occurred treated with adrenaline.Blood pressure and heart rate improved temporarily.Ventricular fibrillation occurred and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed.Spontaneous circulation temporarily returned and a temporary external pacemaker was started.An attempt was made to place a bypass graft in the distal rca; however, this failed due to heavy arteriosclerosis.An emergent thoracotomy was performed and cardiac massage was performed.A reverse vessel was inserted into the ascending aorta and an oxygenator pump (intra-aorta balloon pump) was started.Spontaneous circulation did not return and further circulator maintenance was considered difficult.The patient expired due to cardiogenic shock.No autopsy was performed.There was no additional information provided.

(b)(4).The device was not returned for evaluation.A review of the lot history record and complaint history of the reported lot could not be conducted because the lot number was not provided.The reported patient effects of angina, hypotension, ischemia, ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia and stenosis are listed in the xience prime, xience prime everolimus eluting coronary stent systems instructions for use (ifu) as a known patient effect(s) of coronary stenting procedures.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effects and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined.However, the treatment appears to be related to the operational context of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
