Manufacturer Narrative

Block a4: the patient''s weight is unknown.This information was not available from the facility.Block b6: patient information regarding relevant tests/laboratory data is unknown.This information was not available from the facility.Block g2: (b)(6).Block h3: the angiosculpt evo device was returned for evaluation, along with a non-philips guidewire and guide catheter.Visual inspection of the angiosculpt device found an elevated scoring element, damaged transition tubing, damaged proximal bond, lacerated rx port, and a bent hypotube near the strain relief.Additionally, a longitudinal shaft tear was observed along the length of the catheter up to the rx port but remained intact.The core wire at the distal shaft was exposed, resulting in a sharp edge of non-malleable material.Visual inspection of the non-philips guide catheter confirmed a crushed distal tip.Block h6: based on the device evaluation, some degree of force may have been applied to remove the angiosculpt while passing through the non-philips damaged guide catheter distal tip.This likely caused or contributed to the damage observed on the angiosculpt.Submission of this report does not, in itself, represent a conclusion by the manufacturer and/or authorized representative or the national competent authority that the content of this report is complete or accurate, that the medical device(s) listed failed in any manner and/or that the medical device(s) caused or contributed to an alleged death or deterioration in the state of the health of any person.

Event Description

The angiosculpt device was used to treat a moderately calcified mid circumflex artery.The angiosculpt was loaded over a 0.014¿ bmw guidewire and inserted through the 6f guidezilla guide catheter with no resistance.The angiosculpt was inflated and deflated with no issues.During removal, resistance was noted and could not be removed from the guide catheter; therefore, everything was removed as a unit.Upon removal, it was observed that the balloon and the outer shaft of the angiosculpt was sheared but remained intact.Additionally, the distal portion of the guidewire had separated and was located on the floor, and the tip of the guide catheter was damaged.Fluoroscopy confirmed that nothing was left inside the patient.A new guidezilla guide catheter, new bmw guidewire, and a nc balloon were placed to complete the procedure.However, damage was observed on the nc balloon and was replaced with another nc balloon, but the same damage was observed.The physician believes that the guide catheter got mangled on the tavr cage (corevalve) during insertion and subsequently damaged the distal tip of the guide catheter; which caused the damage to all the devices passing through.The procedure was completed with the second nc balloon.No patient injury reported.During the product return evaluation, the core wire was exposed resulting in a sharp edge of non-malleable material.This product problem is being reported due the sharp edge observed.There is a potential for harm if the malfunction were to recur.
