Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a de novo lesion in the moderately tortuous, mildly calcified, 90% stenosed, mid, left anterior descending (lad) coronary artery.A 2.50 x 38 mm xience xpedition stent delivery system (sds) was advanced to the lesion with moderate resistance felt and it was observed that the proximal shaft of the sds had kinked and partially broke outside the anatomy.The proximal shaft did not separate into 2 pieces.A new unspecified sds was used to successfully complete the procedure.Although a clinically significant delay in the procedure was reported, there was no reported adverse impact to the patient.No additional information provided.

(b)(4).Evaluation summary: visual and dimensional inspections were performed on the returned device.The reported kink and shaft break were both confirmed.The reported physical resistance could not be replicated in a testing environment as it was based on circumstances of the procedure.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 identified no similar incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely the device interacted with the anatomy resulting in the reported physical resistance and additional manipulation of the system caused the subsequent kink and shaft break.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
