Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).During processing of this complaint, attempts were made to obtain complete event, patient and device information.Concomitant product(s): stent: xience alpine 3.25x23 (2), 2.75x23.Dual antiplatelet therapy: plavix and aspirin.The device was not returned for evaluation, as it remains in the patient.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 angina, thrombosis, hypotension and shock, as listed in the absorb gt1 bioresorbable vascular scaffold (bvs) system instructions for use, are known adverse events associated with the use of coronary scaffolds in native coronary arteries.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effects and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined and there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture or labeling of the device.The three xience alpine stents referenced, are filed under separate medwatch reports.
