Event or Problem Description
Elegance study: it was reported that an occlusion occurred, requiring hospitalization and bypass surgery.The subject underwent treatment with the eluvia drug-eluting stent and ranger drug coated balloon on (b)(6) 2021 as a part of the elegance clinical trial.The target lesion was in the left mid superficial femoral artery with proximal reference vessel diameter 6.0 mm and distal reference vessel diameter of 6.0 mm with lesion length of 380 mm and 100% stenosis.Prior to target lesion treatment with study device, pre-dilatation was performed using 5 mm x 300 mm non-boston scientific scoring balloon and 3 mm x 200 mm non-boston scientific pta balloon.Treatment of target lesion was performed with two study devices, 6 mm x 200 mm and 5 mm x 200 mm ranger drug coated balloons and 7 mm x 120 mm, eluvia drug eluting stent.Following post dilatation was performed with 6 mm x 80 mm non-boston scientific pta balloon, and the final residual stenosis was noted to be 10%.On (b)(6) 2021, the subject was discharged from the hospital on dual antiplatelet therapy.On (b)(6) 2022, the subject was noted with the symptoms related to occluded sfa.On (b)(6)2022, the subject was hospitalized for further evaluation and treatment.On (b)(6) 2022, the subject visited the hospital with the symptoms related to peripheral artery disease.On the same date, the subject was hospitalized for further medical evaluation.In response to the event, peripheral arterial bypass was performed.
