Event Description
|
Physician used an silverhawk lxm to treat a fibrous/soft tissue lesion with moderate degree of tortuosity and calcification, presenting cto (chronic total occlusion -100%) in the left proximal superficial femoral artery (sfa).Artery diameter and lesion length were 6mm and 80 mm respectively.The device was inspected and prepared as per the ifu with no issues identified.Patient had a prior stent deployed in left sfa.The silverhawk was advanced through the left proximal sfa/ common femoral artery where multiple passes was performed.The device was removed and a 6x80 chocolate balloon was used f.The balloon was removed and angiogram was performed using a non-medtronic (navicross) catheter.The silverhawk lxm was re-advanced for additional passes.During the additional passes, it was reported that the device got stuck on the stent struts of the previously deployed stent in the left sfa.The silverhawk was turned off and multiple attempts to remove the silverhawk were performed with no success.A non-medtronic sheath (7x90 destinations terumo ) and a 3.5x30 sprinter balloon were used in attempt to remove the silverhawk from the patient's vasculature, unsuccessfully.Another angiogram was performed and no arterial bleeding was observed.The patient was transferred to a hospital and underwent an endarterectomy to remove device from left proximal sfa.The surgery went well and device was removed from the body.The patient is doing fine.
