Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).During processing of this complaint, attempts were made to obtain complete event, patient and device information.There was no reported device malfunction and the product was not returned as the scaffold remains in the anatomy.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.The reported patient effects of death and thrombosis, as listed in the absorb gt1 instructions for use, are known adverse events 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.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacture or labeling of the device.

Event Description

On (b)(6) 2017, the patient had a positive stress test and a 3.0x28 mm absorb gt1 bioresorbable vascular scaffold (bvs) was implanted to treat a lesion in the total occluded, left anterior descending coronary artery.The lesion was pre-dilated with a 2.5x12 mm trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) and a 2.75x12 mm non-abbott bdc.After the scaffold was implanted, and post-dilatation was done with a 3.25x15 mm bdc.Imaging showed thrombus had formed approximately 20 mm distal to the implanted scaffold.The thrombus was treated with ballooning with an unspecified bdc, and integrillin was administered.The patient was stable.Later that evening the patient had a hemorrhagic stroke.The patient was transferred to a different hospital that same day and integrillin was discontinued.On (b)(6) 2017 the patient expired.It is the physician's opinion that death was attributable to the a side effect of the integrillin, hemoragic stroke and not related to the absorb gti.The cause of death is due to bleeding from integrillin.It is unknown if an autopsy was performed.No additional information was provided.
