Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion located in the circumflex (cx) artery that was both heavily calcified and tortuous.The xience skypoint stent delivery system (sds) failed to cross the lesion due to the anatomy.There was no resistance during withdrawal of the sds, but the shaft separated outside the patient due to the angle of the vessel.No other stent could cross and no additional treatment was provided for this patient.There was no adverse patient effect or a clinically significant delay in procedure.No additional information was provided.

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 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 tortuous artery causing the reported failure to advance.During removal of the device the vessel angulation in combination with handling and/or manipulation of the device likely caused the reported material separation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
