As reported, a 24 x 80 bil 80 genesis expandable stent on opta pro percutaneous transluminal angioplasty pta balloon catheter was attempted to be placed; however, the stent was dislodged from the opta pro in the distal right iliac.The dislodged stent then required a retrieval with an en-snare retrieval device (unknown) starting with introducing an 8f sheath (unknown) for the retrieval.Once the stent was snared and retracted from the artery, the stent then collapsed on itself at the tip of the unknown sheath, forcing the physician to remove the unknown sheath, unknown snare and stent together from the artery.The removal of the stent led to a surgical cutdown due to the trauma of the artery caused by the stent collapsing creating a larger entrance site in the artery requiring sutures to ensure hemostasis.The device was stored as per labeling and was opened in a sterile field.The device will not be returned as it was discarded by mistake.

After further review of additional information received the following sections have been updated accordingly: g3, g6, h1, h2 and h6 a 24 x 80 bil 80 genesis expandable stent on opta pro percutaneous transluminal angioplasty pta balloon catheter was attempted to be placed; however, the stent was dislodged from the opta pro in the distal right iliac.The dislodged stent then required a retrieval with a non-cordis retrieval device (unknown) starting with introducing an 8f sheath (unknown) for the retrieval.Once the stent was snared and retracted from the artery, the stent then collapsed on itself at the tip of the unknown sheath, forcing the physician to remove the unknown sheath, unknown snare and stent together from the artery.The removal of the stent led to a surgical cutdown due to the trauma of the artery caused by the stent collapsing creating a larger entrance site in the artery requiring sutures to ensure hemostasis.The device was stored as per labeling and was opened in a sterile field.The product was not returned for analysis.A product history record (phr) review of lot 82180517 revealed no anomalies or non-conformances during the manufacturing and inspection processes that can be associated with the reported event.The reported ¿stent dislodged - in patient¿ could not be confirmed as the device was not returned for analysis, nor were images provided for review.The exact cause could not be determined.Vessel characteristics, although unknown, or unknown procedural factors, may have contributed to the reported event.According to the safety information in the instructions for use ¿the cordis palmaz genesis transhepatic biliary stent on opta pro.035¿ delivery system is indicated for palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree.The safety and effectiveness of the palmaz genesis transhepatic biliary stent on opta pro.035¿ delivery system for use in the vascular system have not been established.Prior to stenting, the palmaz genesis transhepatic biliary stent on opta pro.035¿ delivery system should be examined to verify functionality and integrity.¿ therefore this is considered off label usage.Neither the phr nor the information available suggests a design or manufacturing related cause for the reported event; therefore, no corrective/preventive action will be taken at this time.
