Event Description

The following was reported to the gore fsa: the gore® viabahn® endoprosthesis (viabahn) was tracked through a 6fr terumo sheath over a terumo advantage.018 wire from a contra lateral approach into the left sfa.The lesion was mid to distal sfa.The doctor pre-dilated with a 3x80 ultraverse®.018 balloon.The viabahn was positioned with a 1cm overlap into a previously placed 5x5 viabahn.On deployment, the deployment line was pulled and almost half of the implant deployed when the deployment line broke.The proximal half of the viabahn was observed to be undeployed in patient.The hub of viabahn was cut off and a longitudinal cut made into the viabahn catheter to expose the deployment line, however, no line was there.The doctor attempted to move the catheter back and forth but the patient felt pain in the leg.So the procedure was converted to open bypass to remove device.The doctor opened the ipsilateral groin.He then took an 11 blade and cut open the 6fr sheath and the viabahn catheter, found the deployment line, which was frayed, and pulled it until it all came out.The tech walked back the catheter out of the body on the contra side then removed the sheath, the doctor cut the wire and placed a terumo 6fr x 10 short sheath thru the arteriotomy and ligated above.The doctor took a pic and the viabahn appeared deployed.He then put a 4x150 balloon down to post-dilatate and took a pic.The results appeared good, with 3 vessel runoff and palpable pulses.The cut catheter as well as the frayed deployment line is available for examination.
