It was reported that 6 days after stent placement, leaking was found at the stenosis part during balloon dilation because of the lack of expansion.Perforation can be occurred by other company's device as well as ours.It is affected by patient's lesion status, peristalsis of organs, and drug use in general.It is hard to find out exact root cause for this complaint because the suspected device was not returned and it is difficult to reconstruct the situation at the time of procedure.It is hard to confirm the manufacturing history of the product since the serial number was not informed to us.However, based on the description, which was written that "leaking was found at the stenosis part during balloon dilation because of the lack of expansion", it is assumed that the perforation has occurred caused by strong pressure of patient's lesion, and excessive expansion of balloon during procedure or other reason (catheter insertion process).This suspected device is not registered in the us but we will continuously monitor the same or similar customer complaints through accurate analyses.
