Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The device was not returned for evaluation.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities that would have contributed to this complaint.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot.The reported patient effect of perforation, as listed in the bioresorbable vascular scaffold (bvs) system, absorb, instructions for use (ifu) is a known adverse event associated with the use of a coronary scaffold in native coronary arteries.Based on the case information and related record review, a conclusive cause for the reported patient effects and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined; however, the difficult to position (cross-ability) appears to be related to the circumstances of the procedure and there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacture or labeling of the device.The graftmaster stent and xience alpine stent are filed under separate manufacturer report numbers.

Event Description

It was reported that the patient underwent a procedure to treat a target lesion in the diagonal artery.Pre-dilatation was performed at the target lesion and the 3.0 x 18 mm absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (bvs) was implanted without difficulty.Post dilatation was performed and a perforation was noted distal to the scaffolded area.A 2.8 x 16 mm graftmaster stent was advanced to the perforation site, using a non-abbott guide catheter extension for support.Due to the patient anatomy, the use of the guide catheter extension and advancement distally through the implanted absorb, resistance was met and positioning was difficult; therefore, the 2.8 x 16 mm graftmaster did not fully cover the perforation but sealed the area where it was implanted.A second 2.8 x 19 mm graftmaster stent delivery system was advanced and was able to cover the remaining perforation.During use of the non-abbott guide catheter extension, as the guide catheter extension was engaged in the left anterior descending artery, a dissection occurred (caused by the guide catheter extension).A 3.0 x 15 mm xience alpine was advanced to the dissection and deployed.Post-dilatation was performed using a 4.0 x 15 mm nc trek.After the nc trek was removed, the dissection flap was noted to cover the diagonal artery, occluding flow into the diagonal artery.No additional intervention was performed to treat the occlusion.During the procedure, the patient remained pain-free.Post-procedure, a small amount of blood was noted in the pericardium; however, this was not treated.The patient was discharged from the cath lab in stable condition.No additional information was provided.
