Event Description
|
An individual case report was obtained from an article titled ¿migrated remnant bioresorbable scaffolds in a left main bifurcation lesion: insights from optical coherence tomography¿.It was reported that on an unspecified date, a 3.5x28mm and 3.0x28mm absorb scaffolds were implanted in the proximal to distal left anterior descending (lad) coronary artery lesion.A 3.0x18mm absorb scaffold was implanted in the distal left circumflex (cx) coronary artery lesion.Three years later, the patient presented with exertional chest pain.Imaging was performed.The lad remained patent, however, severe stenosis was observed in the proximal lcx with vertical filing defect within the left main (lm) coronary artery.Scaffold remnants were observed in the lm bifurcated lesion.As treatment, two xience sierra stents were successfully implanted.Final angiography displayed good distal flow without residual stenosis.No additional information was provided regarding this issue.

B3, d6: estimated date.D4: unique device identifier (udi): in the absence of reported part number, udi cannot be calculated.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 part and lot number were not provided.It should be noted that the reported patient effects of angina, ischemia and embolism, as listed in the bioresorbable vascular scaffold (bvs) system, absorb, instructions for use, are known adverse events associated with the use of a coronary scaffold in native coronary arteries.Based on the information reviewed, a conclusive cause for the reported difficulties and patient effects could not be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.Attachment: literature, titled: migrated remnant bioresorbable scaffolds in a left main bifurcation lesion: insights from optical coherence tomography.Na - attachment: [e-29130 article nms.Pdf].
