Event Description

The angiosculpt coronary device was used off-label in a peripheral procedure to treat the proximal right perineal artery.Upon removal, resistance was noted and the device separated at the intermediate shaft.Under fluoroscopy, the separated portion was located in the aorta just before the femoral bifurcation.An attempt to snare the separated portion was made, but unable to bring it into the 6fr sheath.The sheath was upsized to a 16fr and was able to remove it successfully from the patient.A new balloon and stent was used to complete the procedure with no patient complications reported.The patient was discharged home the following day.This adverse event and product problem is being submitted due to the shaft separation requiring medical intervention for removal.
