The device referenced in this report was received.During the investigation, it is concluded that approximately 11 inches of the distal end of the catheter (which includes the outer shaft and inner member, core wire, balloon, distal tip, wires, and emitters/marker bands) was not returned for investigation.As reported, the separation of the catheter distal to the rx port occurred outside of the patient while attempting to remove the catheter from the guidliner, and the distal portion of the ivl catheter was partially separated during the procedure.The physician confirmed nothing from the catheter was left in the patient.Based on the provided information, there was no patient harm.In conclusion, the distal section of the catheter was not returned for investigation.The cause of the damage to the distal section of the catheter upon removal is unknown.It could not be confirmed if any damage occurred upon advancing the catheter to the lesion.However, it was noted that the catheter traveled through pre-existing stents while advancing to the lesion.However, it is noted that the catheter did travel through pre-existing stents while advancing to the lesion.Shockwave medical has controls in place to ensure devices are built to approved procedures and meet lot release acceptance criteria prior to being distributed.Review of the manufacturing and test documentation does not reveal any issues with the manufacturing of the device.The device passed all shockwave medical's acceptance criteria prior to shipping.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
A c2 ivl coronary catheter was used in a coronary artery.The physician attempted to advance the ivl catheter to the point of the distal lesion.It was noted that there were two guidewires in the vessel along with a guideliner sheath, and the ivl catheter did travel through pre-existing stents upon trying to deliver to the lesion.The doctor then attempted to treat the proximal part of the lesion with a shock and go technique without success.The physician attempted to remove the ivl balloon so a non-compliant balloon could be used.Upon attempts to withdrawal the ivl catheter, significant resistance was encountered, and the balloon got stuck in the guideliner.The physician believes that the arch of the guideliner was at an acute angle and could not remove the balloon from the guideliner, therefore the guidewire, guideliner, and ivl catheter was removed together as one.The tip was partially separated but devices were successfully removed from the patient.Nothing from the ivl catheter remained in the body.Doctor proceeded with using a couple of non-compliant balloons and then decided to use a 4.0 ivl catheter that was successful in delivery and treatment.Following ivl, a des stent was implanted and fully expanded, and brisk patent flow was seen by angiography.As of the date of this report, no patient sequalae has been reported.
