Event Description

It was reported that stent dislodgement occurred requiring an additional device.A 4.50 x 12mm synergy xd stent balloon expandable was selected for percutaneous coronary intervention procedure.The target lesion was located distally to the mid right coronary artery (rca).During the procedure, it was noted that a 4.50 x 12mm synergy xd stent would not deliver around the tortuous proximal vessel, so while retrieving, it caught on the tip of the guidezilla guide extension catheter and the stent completely dislodged off the balloon.Physician managed to inflate and deploy this dislodged stent in the proximal vessel in a non-diseased section of the rca.A non bsc 4.0x 12 stent was then successfully delivered to cover the distal lesion, via the same guidezilla guide extension catheter.In the same procedure, physician attempted again with another a 4.50x 12mm synergy xd and delivery was not successful, as upon retrieval the new device again was caught on the tip of the guidezilla guide extension catheter and the stent completely dislodged off the balloon.The physician managed to inflate and deploy this dislodged stent in the proximally rca, which covered a gap between the first two stents.The procedure was completed and the patient was fine and fully recovered.
