Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a 75% stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery, with no calcification.A 4.00 x 18 mm xience sierra stent delivery system (sds) was advanced to the lesion and during stent deployment, the balloon ruptured at 12 atmospheres.As it was observed that the stent implant was not fully apposed to the vessel wall, post-dilatation was performed with an unspecified balloon dilatation catheter to ensure complete wall apposition.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The stent remains in the vessel; the delivery system was returned for analysis.The reported material rupture was confirmed.The reported difficulty to deploy could not be confirmed due to the condition the device was returned for analysis.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 other incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported material rupture appears to be related to a potential product quality issue.The issue is being addressed per internal operating procedures.Abbott vascular will continue to trend the performance of these devices.
