Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure performed was to treat a lesion in distal common iliac artery.The omnilink elite stent delivery system (sds) was advanced to the target lesion without issue and the stent was deployed and was fully apposed.The physician then passed a sheath through the implanted stent to do a completion run and the stent migrated into the distal aorta.The physician attempted to snare the dislodged stent from the aorta, but was unsuccessful.A balloon catheter was able to capture the stent and stented it in a non-abbott covered stent.The contralateral side dissected later in the procedure and the patient underwent femorofemoral (femoral-femoral) bypass surgery; however, it was reported that this was unrelated to the omnilink stent.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities that would have contributed to this complaint.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents.The investigation determined the reported difficulties and subsequent treatments including surgical intervention and foreign body in patient appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure, as it is likely that the physician passed a sheath through the implanted stent to do a completion run, causing the reported stent migration into the distal aorta.The physician attempted to snare the dislodged stent from the aorta but was unsuccessful.A balloon catheter was able to capture the stent and stented it in a non-abbott covered stent.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effects, and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined.The reported patient effects of occlusion, embolism and surgical intervention are listed in the omnilink elite vascular balloon-expandable stent system, electronic instructions for use as known patient effects of coronary stenting procedures.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.

Event or Problem Description

|
Subsequent to the initial report filing, additional information received confirmed the occlusion of the iliac which resulted in surgery was a result of the failure to not adequately retrieve the stent that had been pushed up into the distal aorta.
