It was reported that an arteriotomy closure of the scarred right common femoral artery was attempted using a prostyle device after an interventional common femoral artery endarterectomy procedure with a 6f sheath.Reportedly after deployment, there was difficulty removing the device from the patient.Force was applied to remove the device.Once removed, it was noted that the distal sheath broke off at the elbow.A vascular dissection was also noted.A surgical cutdown was performed to remove the separated sheath and repair the vessel.Afterward, manual arterial compression was performed to achieve hemostasis.There was a reported clinically significant delay due to the surgical cutdown.No additional information was provided.

D4: primary udi number - a partial udi was provided as the lot number is not known.H6: medical device problem code 2017 clarifier- excessive force the device was not returned for analysis.A review of the manufacturing records and complaint history could not be conducted because the lot number was not provided.The prostyle device was removed with force.It should be noted that the electronic prostyle instructions for use (ifu), states: do not advance or withdraw the preclose prostyle device against resistance until the cause of that resistance has been determined.Excessive force used to advance or torque the perclose prostyle device should be avoided, as this may lead to significant vessel damage and/ or breakage of the device, which may necessitate intervention and/ or surgical removal of the device and vessel repair.In this case, based on the reported information, the use of force was circumstantial due to the difficulties experienced during removal.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported difficulties; however, the treatment appears to be related to circumstances of the procedure.The patient effect of dissection is listed in the electronic prostyle ifu as a known adverse event of use of the device.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
