Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).There was no reported device malfunction and the product was not returned as the scaffold remains in the anatomy.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.It should be noted that the reported patient effects of dyspnea and restenosis as listed in the bioresorbable vascular scaffold (bvs) system, absorb, instructions for use (ifu) are known adverse events associated with the use of a coronary scaffold in native coronary arteries.Based on the case information and related record review, a conclusive cause for the reported patient effects, and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined and the treatment appears to be related to the circumstances of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacture or labeling of the device.
