Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The device was not returned for analysis.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 did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.The reported patient effects of myocardial infarction and embolism are listed in the trek rx and mini trek rx coronary dilatation catheter instructions for use as known patient effects of coronary procedures.As there was no damage noted to the device during the inspection prior to use, the investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that interaction with the anatomy and/or other devices resulted in the reported difficult to advance and the reported difficult to remove.During removal manipulation of the device/interaction with the previously deployed 3.0x33mm xience sierra stent resulted in the reported balloon material separation/ material rupture.The reported difficulties possibly contributed to the reported patient effects; however a conclusive cause for the reported patient effects, and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined.The treatments appear 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.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat an occluded lesion located in the proximal left anterior descending (plad), left main (lm) and left circumflex coronary (lcx) arteries.A 3.0x33mm xience sierra stent was implanted in the lcx.Kissing balloon was then to be performed.A 3.25x12mm trek balloon was advanced with slight resistance into the lcx.When the 3.5x12mm trek balloon was placed in the lm/plad, there was slight movement of the balloon in the lcx.An attempt was made to remove the balloon from the lcx, but it was stuck.Trouble shooting was performed and the balloon was removed with resistance, and once removed, it was noted that the balloon was torn and the lcx was occluded.Optical coherence tomography (oct) was performed and a piece of balloon was noted attached to the 3.0x33mm xience sierra stent in the lcx.The piece of the balloon was not able to be removed and remains in the patient.The patient experienced an acute myocardial infarction and acute lung edema and was transferred to the intensive care unit and placed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ecmo).No additional information was provided.
