Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient underwent a coronary procedure to treat a target lesion in the mid left anterior descending (lad) artery, with mild calcification.A non-abbott guide wire was advanced and pre-dilatation was performed using a 2.5 x 20 mm non-abbott dilatation catheter.A 2.75 x 28 mm xience sierra stent was implanted and a waist was noted in the mid stent.The stent delivery system (sds) was inflated several times to 18 atmospheres (atm).Post-dilatation was performed using a 2.75 x 15 mm nc trek dilatation catheter to optimize stent deployment.A proximal dissection was noted and a 3.0 x 18 mm non-abbott stent was implanted as treatment.Balloon inflations were performed to treat the dissection between the stents.A second 2.5 x 20 mm non-abbott dilatation catheter was inflated to treat the remaining waist in the xience sierra stent.A 3.0 x 30 mm non-abbott dilatation catheter was inflated to treat the dissection distal to the implanted xience sierra.A 2.5 x 19 mm non-abbott stent was implanted; however, an additional vessel area was not covered.A 2.5 x 18 mm non-abbott stent was implanted to fully treat the dissection.Several balloon inflations were performed with good outcome.No additional information was provided.

(b)(4).The device was not returned for analysis.The lot history record review and similar incident query were not performed because the lot number was not reported and the product was not returned for analysis.The reported patient effect of intimal dissection is listed in the xience sierra everolimus eluting coronary stent systems instructions for use as a known patient effect of coronary stenting procedures.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported difficulty to deploy; however, the patient effect of intimal dissection appears to be related to the operational context of the procedure.Based on the information reviewed, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
