Event Description

It was reported that stent stuck on wire and wire detachment occurred, detached wire remained inside the patient causing discomfort and pain.The 80% stenosed target lesion was located in the mildly tortuous and severely calcified iliac artery.An 8.0x30x75cm express ld stent balloon expandable was prepared accordingly and tried to advance on an amplatz wire.However, when stenosis was reached, the stent was deployed prematurely and got stuck on the wire, and eventually was stuck in the vessel upon removal, leaving only the catheter with the balloon to come out.The stent stayed at the vessel without the balloon and travelled creating a stenosis in the external iliac.The physician tried to snare the stent, and use a smaller balloon to expand the stent, but was unsuccessful.To prevent the stuck stent from migrating, an innova stent was then used to push it against the wall of the vessel.However, the innova stent became stuck in the amplatz wire too.The physician had to cut the wire leaving some part stuck in the express ld and innova stent, inside the patient.A non-boston scientific stent was then used and implanted to prevent the other stents and detached wire to migrate.The patient experienced discomfort and received medication for the pain and is expected to fully recover after the procedure.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: the device was returned for evaluation.A visual examination identified that the stent had completely separated from the balloon catheter.The separated stent was not returned for analysis.A visual examination identified that the balloon had been not subjected to positive pressure.No issues were noted with the balloon material.The stent crimp marks were clearly visible on the balloon material.A visual examination identified no issues with the tip of the device.A visual and tactile examination identified no damage or issues with the shaft of the device.

Event Description

It was reported that the stent became stuck on the guidewire, then dislodged and became stuck in the vessel, requiring an additional device.The 80% stenosed target lesion was located in the mildly tortuous and severely calcified iliac artery.An 8.0x30x75cm express ld balloon expandable stent was prepared accordingly and was attempted to advance on the guidewire.However, when the lesion was reached, the stent became stuck on the guidewire.When attempting to remove the stent, it dislodged from the balloon in the vessel, leaving the catheter with the balloon to come out.The stent travelled creating a stenosis in the external iliac; therefore, the physician tried to snare the stent, but was unsuccessful.They then used a smaller balloon to expand the stent but was also unsuccessful.Another stent was deployed to push the dislodged stent against the wall of the vessel.However, the second stent became stuck in the guidewire when attempting to remove the wire.The guidewire had to be cut, leaving it partially stuck in the express ld and innova stents.A non-boston scientific stent was implanted to prevent the other stents and detached wire from migrating.The patient experienced discomfort and received medication for pain and was expected to fully recover after the procedure.
