During a procedure, an attempt was made to use a resolute onyx rx coronary drug eluting stent to treat a non tortuous, moderately calcified lesion exhibiting 50% stenosis in the proximal obtuse marginal (om).The device was inspected with no issues.Negative prep was not performed.The lesion was pre-dilated.The device did not pass through a previously deployed stent.There was no resistance encountered when advancing the device.Excessive force was not used during delivery.It was reported that following implantation of the resolute onyx stent at 14 atm, the position of the non-medtronic guide wire was lost.The physician stated that the felt the stent was fully opposed after expanding at 14 atm.After re-entering the wire into the vessel, the wire passed behind some struts of the stent, between the vessel wall and the stent.The wire tip became bent into a hook shape in the distal vessel.Balloon dilatations were then initiated using non-medtronic balloons at 16 atm to avoid malposition.As the wire was withdrawn from the vessel, it caught on the stent struts and completely pulled the stent out of the vessel.It was reported that the stent was retrieved back to the arm where it was snared and withdrawn through the sheath.It was reported that another onyx stent was used to successfully complete the procedure.No other patient injury reported.It is reported that this event was operator related and that the device was not at fault.
