Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a non-calcified, moderately tortuous mid right coronary artery.A 2.75x48mm xience xpedition stent was deployed with good apposition.A 3.25x15mm trek balloon dilatation catheter was advanced with resistance noted with the anatomy then failed to cross the proximal end of the xience xpedition.The trek balloon became trapped at the proximal edge of the xience xpedition.A deep seating technique was attempted with an unspecified guiding catheter then the patient underwent ventricular fibrillation with no flow.The patient was treated successfully using chest compression to defibrillate.The flow was resolved with the disengagement of the deep seated guiding catheter.A 3.0 non-abbott balloon was then used successfully cross and post-dilatate to complete the procedure.There was no adverse patient sequela reported.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported failure to advance and difficult to remove were unable to be replicated in a testing environment as they were based on operational circumstances.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that resistance was met with the anatomy and/or the proximal edge of the previously deployed xience xpedition resulting in the reported failure to advance and difficult to remove.The noted multiple bends on the hypotube likely occurred due to handling or during packing for return analysis.Additionally, the treatment appears to be related to the operational context of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
