Event or Problem Description
|
|
An attempt was made to use one resolute onyx drug eluting stent to treat a moderately calcified lesion with no significant tortuosity although angulation was present at the origin of the obtuse marginal (om) relative to the circumflex.The lesion had 80% stenosis.There were no issues noted during removal of the device from the hoop.The device was inspected with no issues noted.The device was prepped per the ifu with no issues noted.The lesion was pre-dilated, the device did not pass through a previously deployed stent.Mild resistance was encountered, this was presumed to be due the angulation of the vessel and the stenosis present.Excessive force was not used.It was reported that stent dislodgement occurred during delivery to or at the lesion.It was detailed that the device was in position in the proximal obtuse marginal (om).It was not possible to deliver a balloon into the distal circumflex (for protection) through the non medtronic guide extension catheter such that it was withdrawn.It was planned to remove the resolute onyx 2.0mm stent and subsequently the non medtronic guide extension catheter, and replace both the stent and the balloon.On slow withdraws of the device, the balloon withdrew while the stent remained in the obtuse marginal (om).Resistance was not encountered during withdrawal of the device.It was detailed that it was not possible to advance the balloon back into the stent.An attempt was made to wire around the stent however this was unsuccessful.An attempt was made to deliver other small balloons serially into the stent.This was partially successful in that the proximal portion of the stent was deployed.The patient now had chest pain and ischemic ekg changes.A percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) was performed in the circumflex (cx).Repeated successful attempts were made to wire the obtuse marginal (om) however it was not possible to advance a balloon.The patient denied symptoms when seen post procedure.The cause of the dislodgment is suspected to be angulation and calcification.The dislodged stent was not removed from the patient.The patient is reported to be alive with no injury.

Product analysis: images were received for analysis.The images confirm that the patient previously underwent coronary artery by-pass (cabg) to the lad.Images with contrast injection to the lcx and om1 confirms the presence of a tight lesion in the proximal om1.The proximal lcx and ostial omi are confirmed to be moderately tortuous based on the profile of the inflated pre-dilation balloons.A long stent is deployed from the left main (lm) to proximal lcx (lcx).Images of the vessel with contrast injection post stent deployment appear to confirm the presence of focal calcification in the mid lcx and the ostium and proximal om1.The om1 is pre-dilated multiple times with subsequent successful delivery and deployment of a long stent into the mid to distal om1.There then appears to be a time gap of approximately ten minutes to the next images where it appears the attempted positioning of the 2.0 x 12mm stent was attempted.The next images confirm the dislodgement and the ballooning of the stent in the vessel.Based on the presence of the calcification and the previously deployed stent in the vessel, the possibility exists that the stent may have caught on the calcification or previously deployed stent and during catheter with drawal the stent dislodged.But this cannot be confirmed as images showing this theory were not provided.The reported dislodgment is confirmed based on the images provided.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
