Event Description

It was reported that during a procedure to treat a lesion in the left anterior descending artery, a 3.0x23 mm rx xience xpedition stent delivery system (sds) was advanced without resistance and during inflation, leakage at the shaft was observed as there was a potential tear in the shaft.The sds was simply withdrawn from the patient anatomy without issue.Reportedly, the 3.0x23 mm rx xience xpedition sds was prepped per the instructions for use without any issues noted.Another xience xpedition stent was used to treat the target lesion without issue.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
