Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a mildly tortuous, moderately calcified, and de novo lesion located in the mid left anterior descending artery.A 3.0 x 23 mm xience prime stent was removed from the box and there was slight resistance during uncoiling and when removing the protective sheath.There was a bulge on the sheath, and it was noticed the proximal and distal edges of the stent were flared, and the balloon was partially inflated.This stent was not used in the patient.An attempt was made to use a new 3.0 x 23 mm xience prime stent, but it could not cross due to the anatomy.The procedure was successfully completed with a 3.0 x 18mm xience prime stent.There were no adverse patient effects and no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure or therapy.No additional information was provided.
