It was reported that the lesion had been pre-dilated.When 3.0 x 15mm xience sierra was deployed, it was noted that the distal part of the inflated balloon was hanging over the distal marker and the diameter was larger than expected.This occurred with another 3.50 x 15mm xience sierra in the same procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The device was returned for analysis.The reported defective item/oversized and folded/balloon overhang was unable to be confirmed.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 similar incidents from this lot.A cine was received and reviewed by an abbott vascular clinical specialist.In conclusion, although it was reported that just the distal balloon shoulder appeared to extend beyond the balloon marker it appears that both the proximal and distal shoulders of the stent balloon extend beyond the balloon markers.As the reported defective item/oversized and folded/balloon overhang were unable to be confirmed during return analysis, 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 manufacture, design or labeling.The 3.0x15mm xience sierra referenced was filed under a separate medwatch report number.
