Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat the heavily calcified, heavily tortuous left anterior descending (lad) coronary artery.The 3.0x23 mm xience prime stent delivery system (sds) was unable to cross the lesion due to the anatomy and the proximal shaft of the sds separated.The separated portion was simply withdrawn.There were no adverse patient effects.The patient was treated with medical management.There was no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was returned for analysis.The reported material separation was confirmed.The reported failure to advance could not be replicated in a testing environment as it was related to operational context of the procedure.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 similar incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely the device interacted with the heavily calcified and heavily tortuous artery causing the reported failure to advance.Continued handling and/or manipulation of the device during the attempt to cross the lesion likely caused the reported material separation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
