Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not 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 similar incidents from this lot.As there was no damage noted to the device during the inspection prior to use, the investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that interaction with the mildly calcified anatomy and/or inadvertent mishandling resulted in the reported unintended system motion (stent delivery system jumped back).During withdrawal, interaction with the guiding catheter resulted in the reported stent dislodgement.The treatment appears to be related to the operational context of the procedure as reportedly an attempt was made to snare the stent; however, the stent could not be snared through the sheath.Everything was pulled out, except the stent, snare, and wire.It was noted that the stent was stuck in the femoral scar tissue (reported entrapment).Therefore, a surgeon was called and a cut-down was performed.The stent, snare, and wire were retrieved.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.

Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was done to treat a diagonal vessel with mild calcification and no tortuosity.Pre-dilatation was successfully completed with a non-abbott balloon.A 2.75x15mm xience sierra stent delivery system (sds) was advanced to the target lesion with no issues.However, the physician was about to start deploying the stent when the sds jumped back.The physician was inflating at 2 atms.The inflation was intentionally performed slow.When the sds was being pulled back into the guide, the stent dislodged off the balloon (no resistance was felt when pulling back).This caused a clinically significant delay in the procedure.An attempt was made to snare the stent; however, the stent could not be snared through the sheath.Everything was pulled out, except the stent, snare, and wire.It was noted that the stent was stuck in the femoral scar tissue.Therefore, a surgeon was called and a cut-down was performed.The stent, snare, and wire were retrieved.The patient is stable.The target lesion was not treated.There was no adverse patient sequela reported.No additional information was provided.
