Event Description

It was reported that during a procedure of the moderately calcified, mildly tortuous, left anterior descending (lad) artery, a 3.0 x 12 mm xience alpine stent delivery system (sds) was advanced on a balance middleweight (bmw) guide wire but met resistance and the guide wire became stretched.The two devices were removed together as a system from the anatomy without reported issue.A different 3.0 x 12 mm xience alpine stent was successfully implanted in the vessel without issue.There was no reported adverse patient effect or a clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Visual, dimensional and functional inspections were performed on the returned device.The reported stretched coils were confirmed although difficult to position and difficult to remove could not be confirmed due to the guide wire being frozen within the sds.A review of the lot history record and complaint history of the reported lot could not be conducted, because the lot number was not provided.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture or labeling of the device.
