Event Description
|
The patient was undergoing balloon angioplasty when vessel spasm occurred in the treated lesion; therefore, the physician deployed a stent (subject device) to keep the patency of the vessel.The procedure was completed without further patient complications.It was reported that approximately seven days post initial procedure, the patient developed transient ischemic attack symptoms.Unknown imaging test revealed in-stent re-stenosis.The patient was scheduled for in-stent balloon angioplasty to treat the in-stent restenosis two days post imaging finding.It was reported that during balloon angioplasty dilation of the stenosed stent, vessel spasm occurred.The physician switched to another balloon catheter and dilated but slight vessel spasm was observed.However, anterograde flow was maintained, so the procedure was finished.The patient was reported to be released with a modified ranking scale (mrs) of 1.No further information is available.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device history record (dhr) review confirmed that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The subject device was not returned; therefore, physical as well as a functional evaluation could not be performed.However, restenosis and transient ischemic attack (tia) are known risks associated with endovascular procedures and are noted as such in the device directions for use (dfu).Therefore, an assignable cause of anticipated procedural complication was assigned to this event.
