Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat the mid right coronary artery (rca) that did not have any tortuosity or calcification.Pre-dilatation was performed with an unspecified 4.0 x 15 mm compliant balloon dilatation catheter.A 4.0 x 23 mm xience xpedition stent delivery system (sds) was then advanced to the lesion and did not meet any resistance.However, the stent was assessed to be too short to cover the lesion.Therefore, there was an attempt to remove the sds; however, the sds met resistance with a 6 fr non-abbott guiding catheter.The distal part of the stent moved backwards from the sds at the tip of the guiding catheter, and some of the proximal stent struts overlapped each other.The stent remained crimped on the sds balloon.An unspecified guide wire was then removed and the sds and the guiding catheter were removed together as a single unit to avoid stent displacement.Then, a 4.0 x 28 mm unspecified xience stent was implanted to successfully complete the procedure.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure and no adverse patient effects.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).A visual and dimensional inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported material deformation was confirmed.The reported unstable stent was not confirmed.The reported difficult to remove could not be tested due to the condition of the returned device (stent).A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported unstable stent; however, the reported difficult to remove and material deformation 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.
