It was reported that on (b)(6) 2021, the patient presented for a percutaneous peripheral intervention.A non-abbott stent was implanted in the distal superficial femoral artery, reducing stenosis.Angioplasty was then performed on the left anterior tibial (at) artery using a 2.5x30mm trek balloon catheter.The at stenosis was reduced from 80% to 30% with good results, however a mid-left at perforation was observed.Balloon angioplasty was performed; however, it was not successful at sealing the perforation.A 2.8x26mm graftmaster stent was then implanted mid-distal at, without a device issue reported, sealing the perforation.Reportedly, hemostasis was achieved.No additional information was provided regarding this issue.

Product performance engineering reviewed the incident information; however, there was no reported device malfunction and the product was not returned.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.It was reported that the procedure was to treat a superficial femoral artery.It should be noted the coronary dilatation catheters trek rx and mini trek rx, global, instruction for use (ifu) states: the trek rx coronary dilatation catheters are indicated for: balloon dilatation of the stenotic portion of a coronary artery or bypass graft stenosis, for the purpose of improving myocardial perfusion, balloon dilatation of a coronary artery occlusion, for the purpose of restoring coronary flow in patients with st-segment elevation myocardial infarction, balloon dilatation of a stent after implantation.In this case, it is unknown if the ifu violation contributed to the reported perforation.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effect and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined; however, the reported ifu violation (incorrect anatomy) appears to be related to user error.Additionally, additional treatment appears to be related to operational context of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
