Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported that a vascular dissociation procedure was performed in a patient in intracranial blood vessel to place a stent.Initially during the procedure, resistance was felt when the physician advanced the subject guidewire through the balloon catheter for pre-extension.Later when the stent system was advanced over the subject guidewire, the resistance was so strong that it was determined that the subject guidewire cannot be used anymore because of the positioning accuracy.According to the physician the subject guidewire might have had the coating problem.The subject guidewire was replaced and the procedure was completed successfully.No clinical consequences were reported to the patient due to this event.
