It was reported that during a procedure of the mildly tortuous, heavily calcified, eccentric, 100% stenosed, de novo common(cia) and external iliac (eia) arteries, a 10 x 60 mm absolute pro stent may have kinked, but was deployed without issue in the eia.Following deployment, a 10 x 40 mm armada 35 balloon was used for post-dilatation.During post dilatation of the 10 x 60 mm absolute pro stent, a perforation was noted.The balloon was inflated for 30 minutes, but the perforation did not resolve.The patient was transferred to another hospital.A non-abbott stent was implanted, resolving the perforation.The patient was discharged sometime later.No additional information was provided.

(b)(4).There was no reported device malfunction and the product was not returned as it remains implanted.A review of the lot history record revealed no non-conformances that would have contributed to the reported event.A query of the electronic complaint handling database revealed no other incidents reported from this lot.Perforation is listed in the absolute pro instruction for use (ifu) as a known patient effect associated with the use of a stent in peripheral arteries.It is likely that the kink and perforation occurred due to anatomical conditions.Based on the case information and related record review, the reported difficulties appear to be due to case circumstances.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
