Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a de novo lesion located in the left main artery that was both moderately calcified and tortuous and 90% stenosed.The 3.50x28 mm xience xpedition stent was advanced and implanted in the lesion, without issue; however, the stent balloon failed to deflate.During attempted removal of the stent delivery system, the inflated balloon pulled the stent from the lesion into the aorta.The patient went into ventricular tachycardia and was intubated.A snare device was advanced to remove the balloon and stent.Both were captured by the snare, but the stent and balloon could only be pulled into the brachial artery.The surgeon was called to remove stent and balloon from the brachial artery.Once removed, the patient stabilized.There was no adverse patient sequela or a clinically significant delay in procedure.Another stent was successfully implanted in the lesion.On (b)(6) 2022, the patient was discharged from the hospital.No additional information was provided.
