Event or Problem Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a 90% stenosed lesion in the left anterior descending (lad) artery with mild calcification and mild tortuosity.A 2.75x18mm xience stent was implanted mid lad, followed by a 3.00x28mm xience stent implanted proximal mid lad and then a 3.00x12mm xience stent was deployed to overlap the 2 implanted stents.The 2.50x33mm xience skypoint stent delivery system (sds) was attempted to be advance to the target lesion; however the sds got stuck and could not advance or be removed from the implanted 3.00x28mm xience stent; therefore, the stent was deployed at the proximal/mid lad, which was not the intended location.Additionally, the sds catheter became kinked.After the stent was deployed, the sds was removed from the patient.At an unknown point during the procedure a 2.25x18mm xience skypoint sds was attempted to be advanced in the guide catheter, but the shaft broke while advancing through the guide catheter.The 2.25x18mm xience skypoint sds was simply removed from the patient, without issue.There was no adverse patient sequela and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.The procedure was completed with the implantation of 2 non-abbott stents.No additional information was provided.

Additional 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 guiding catheter causing the reported difficulty to advance and subsequent shaft separation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
