Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a right distal superior femoral artery (sfa).The 6.5x150mm supera self-expanding stent was deployed; however, during removal under fluoroscopy the tip of supera delivery system became caught on the deployed stent.This caused stent elongation to 200 length instead of the original 150 length.The physician unlocked system and tried to slide the thumbslide to see if nosecone would move forward to disengage the stent.He advanced the entire delivery system forward and was able to get it to disengage.Additional balloon dilatation was performed with an 6.0mm armada 35 balloon dilatation catheter to improve the stent lumen.Some of the stent is in healthy tissue.The profunda was almost covered by the stent that was meant to treat the distal sfa in the right leg.There were no adverse patient sequela reported and no clinically significant delay reported.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 other incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that during removal the tip of supera delivery system inadvertently became caught on the deployed stent resulting in the reported difficult to remove and the reported stretched stent.Some of the stent was deployed in healthy tissue resulting in the foreign body in patient.The treatment (manipulation to disengage the tip) appears to be related to the operational context of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
