The hospital facility is currently retaining the reported guide wire.If the wire is returned to csi, an analysis will be performed and a supplemental report will be submitted.The results of the investigation are inconclusive since the reported device was not returned for analysis.Based on the information received, the cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined.(b)(4).

The target lesion was 99% stenosed and located in the mid to distal circumflex artery.The lesion was primary wired with a non-csi guide wire, following which an attempt was made to insert a second wire.Due to the narrow vessel anatomy, the second wire would not pass and the primary wire was exchanged for viperwire guide wire.The lesion was treated with three passes of the coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) at low speed and three passes at high speed in a proximal to distal direction.When an attempt was made to insert a balloon, the viperwire guide wire was noted to be fractured.Multiple attempts were made to remove the wire fragment, however they were unsuccessful.The patient then underwent bypass surgery, during which the wire fragment was removed.It was reported to csi that the patient expired due to post-bypass complications unrelated to the guide wire fracture which resulted in multi-system failure.
