Additional information: a non mdt wire was advanced to the distal om branch for support.Following pre-dilation using a 2.5 x 15 mm balloon the lesion was stented with the 2.5 x 22 non medtronic stent.Because of signicicant residual stenosis just distal to this stent the decision was made to stent this area.Upon advancing a 2.25x22mm onyx frontier drug eluting stent, however upon advancing the stent, the stent detached, from the stent delivery system within the previously placed stent likely after hanging up on calcium.While attempting to advance a balloon catheter over the wire through the dislodged stent, the entire guide catheter system was dislodged from the left main coronary artery.It was stated that wire placement was lost.With significant difficulty, a wire was re-advanced into the distal om branch after re-engagement of the left main coronary artery with a guide catheter.Despite the use of multiple techniques and equipment, a balloon catheter could not pass by the dislodged stent.The dislodged stent did not adhere to the vessel wall.The family did not want to proceed with open heart surgery/bypass grafting, despite the risk of acute stent thrombosis.It was decided to pursue with conservative treatment the decision was made to attempt a right coronary artery (rca) pci.A 6f non medtronic guide catheter without side holes was advanced over a wire and used to selectively cannulate the right coronary artery (rca) a non mdt wire was advanced into the distal rca system for support.Sequential balloon dilatation was performed using a 2.0 x 8 mm and 2.5 x 12 mm balloon with minimal luminal gain due to severe concentric calcification.Intravascular ultrasound was to be performed but the catheter could not be advanced past the severe stenosis of the proximal segment.Additional balloon dilatation was performed without significant luminal gain, an intraluminal coronary lithotripsy was attempted using the shockwave system however the non mdt balloon could not pass the proximal lesion.Multiple attempts were then performed without significant improvement.Due to the length of the procedure and the amount of contrast used, the decision was made to stop the intervention.B1: updated from product problem to adverse event and product problem.H1: updated from malfunction to serious injury 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.
