Event Type  Injury  

Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a lesion in an unspecified fistula.The vessel was treated with a non-abbott covered stent.The absolute pro vascular stent was then implanted.Post dilatation was performed using an unspecified 7.0 x 60 mm dilatation catheter.The stent then separated into at least two pieces, with the stent segments embolizing.It is unknown if the embolized stent pieces remain in the patient anatomy or if the pieces were removed.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

The stent remains in patient.The device will not be returned for evaluation.Investigation is not yet complete.A follow-up report will be submitted with all additional relevant information.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for evaluation.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 and/or complaints reported from this lot.Based on the information provided, a definitive cause for the reported stent fracture/separation could not be determined.It may be possible that the balloon of the dilatation catheter was overexpanded causing the stent to fracture; however, this could not be confirmed.The reported embolism and unexpected medical intervention to embed the fractured stent to the vessel wall are due to circumstances of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.E1: initial reporter name.

Event Description

Subsequent to the initial report, additional information was provided.The procedure was performed to treat an arteriovenous (av) fistula in the left superficial femoral artery (sfa).The vessel was first treated with a non-abbott covered stent and then the absolute pro vascular stent was implanted.The absolute pro vascular was then post-dilated with a 7.0 x 60 mm non-abbott dilatation catheter balloon.The absolute pro vascular stent then separated into pieces, with an additional non-abbott covered stent implanted to crush the stent fragments to the vessel wall.The patient is doing well.

Manufacturer Narrative

H6: 1494 device code clarifier- incorrect anatomy.The device was not returned for evaluation.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 and/or complaints reported from this lot.The reported patient effect embolism, as listed in the absolute pro instructions for use, is a known possible adverse event that may be associated with the use of the device.It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat an arteriovenous (av) fistula in the left superficial femoral artery (sfa).It should be noted that the absolute pro instructions for use state: the absolute pro vascular self-expanding stent system is indicated for improving luminal diameter in patients with de novo or restenotic atherosclerotic lesions in the native common iliac artery and native external iliac artery with reference vessel diameters between 4.3 mm and 9.1 mm and lesion lengths up to 90 mm.In this event, it could not be determined if the off-label use caused or contributed to the reported difficulties.Based on the information provided, a definitive cause for the reported stent fracture/separation could not be determined.It may be possible that the balloon of the dilatation catheter was overexpanded causing the stent to fracture; however, this could not be confirmed.The reported embolism and unexpected medical intervention to embed the fractured stent to the vessel wall are due to circumstances of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
