Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a greater than 80% stenosed, heavily calcified and heavily tortuous vessel in the left anterior descending (lad) artery.The 2.25x23mm xience skypoint stent delivery system (sds) was attempted to be advanced through the guiding catheter however, it would not advance even when force was applied and there was resistance during removal.The sds and the guiding catheter were retrieved together as one unit.It was not until the device was on the table and the stent was pulled from the guiding catheter that the shaft was noted to be kinked.Another xience skypoint was used to complete the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and there was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
