Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a de novo lesion in the superficial femoral artery (sfa) with heavy calcification and mild tortuosity.The lesion was pre-dilated with a non-abbott balloon at 24 atmospheres (atm) 3 times for 60 seconds.The 5.00x120mm supera self expanding stent system (sess) was attempted to be used to treat the target lesion; however only partially deployed.The stent became elongated greater than 10% of the expected length.Therefore, the sess, including the stent, was removed from the anatomy under fluoroscopy.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay reported in the procedure.A non-abbott stent was used to complete the procedure.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.It is possible that due to the heavily calcified and mildly torturous anatomy pre-dilatation was not enough in some locations causing the stent to stretch/elongate during deployment resulting in the reported stretched and the reported activation/deployment failure; however, this could not be confirmed.The investigation determined a conclusive cause for the reported difficulties cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.Na.
