Event Description
|
It was reported through a research article, identifying the omnilink elite balloon-expandable stent (bes) system as follows: this article demonstrates how atherectomy devices can damage the stent struts and lead to pseudoaneurysms.In this case, there was a risk of restenosis or thrombosis in the damaged strut area, so a covered stent was placed, proving that a stent graft is a good treatment option of the pseudoaneurysm caused by the atherectomy procedure.The patient presented at an unknown hospital, with in-stent re-stenosis of an implanted 7×39mm omnilink elite balloon-expandable stent (bes).The patient received endovascular therapy (evt) and atherectomy was performed followed by use of an unspecified drug-coated balloon.Several months after the evt, and atherectomy with ballooning procedure, a pseudoaneurysm occurred and did not resolve on its own, so the patient visited a new hospital for treatment.Via imaging, a damaged stent strut was noted at the previous implanted 7×39mm omnilink elite balloon-expandable stent system (bess).A 31mm sized pseudoaneurysm was observed in the damaged strut area of the superficial femoral artery (sfa).Evt, and treatment with a covered stent was performed without issue.The final angiography, showed the pseudoaneurysm was completely treated.Details are listed in the attached article, titled: successful management of iatrogenic arterial pseudoaneurysm caused by rotational atherectomy.Please see article for additional information.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

The devices were not returned for evaluation.A review of the lot history record and complaint history of the reported lot could not be conducted because the part and lot numbers were not provided.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported device damaged by another device; however, the subsequent unexpected medical intervention (additional therapy/non-surgical treatment) appears to be related to the operational context of the procedure.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effect(s) of stenosis, and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined.The reported patient effect of stenosis is listed in the omnilink elite® vascular balloon-expandable stent system, electronic instructions for use as a known patient effect of coronary stenting procedures.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
