The product was not returned to abbott vascular 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.Based on the review of similar incident(s) there is no indication of a lot specific product quality issue.The investigation determined the reported failure to advance and difficulty to remove appear to be related to operational circumstances of the procedure.Based on the reported information, during advancement the guide wire encountered resistance with the heavily calcified lesion causing the failure to advance.It is likely that during retraction, the guide wire became trapped or caught in the lesion.Manipulation against resistance likely caused calcium to detach but remain on the coils resulting in the difficulty to remove through the guiding catheter.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
