Event Description
|
An attempt was made to use one resolute onyx rx coronary drug-eluting stent (des) to treat a non-tortuous, severely calcified lesion with 70-90% stenosis in the proximal ostium of the left anterior descending (lad) artery.The device was inspected with no issues noted.Negative prep was performed with no issues noted.The lesion was pre-dilated.The device did not pass through a previously deployed stent.Resistance was encountered when advancing the device.Excessive force was not used during delivery.It was reported that the device failed to cross/position the long lesion.It is believed that the event was due to use of the device in difficult lesion morphology/anatomy, i.E.The event was procedural related and not device related.The patient is alive with no injury.

Product analysis: the device was received for analysis.The stent was positioned on the balloon between the marker bands as per position specification, but due to distal stent deformation the stent did not meet visual acceptance specification.Deformation was evident to the distal stent wraps with struts raised.No deformation was evident to the distal tip.The inner lumen could not be verified with a 0.015 inch mandrel most likely due to hardened blood in the guidewire lumen.No other damage evident to the remainder of the device.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.

Image analysis: images confirm diffuse disease through the lad and om to the lcx.Images show the successful delivery and deployment of two stents from the ostium to the mid lad.There was no evidence of vessel pre-dilation prior to successful stent delivery and deployments.No images were provided showing the attempted but unsuccessful delivery of the resolute onyx stent that was withdrawn without deployment.Due to the diffuse nature of the vessel morphology the possibility exists that the vessel morphology impacted the failure to deliver the stent and the stent deformation.But this cannot be confirmed as images showing evidence of the stent failed delivery were not provided.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
