Event or Problem Description
It was reported that during an angioplasty procedure of a bifurcation calcified target lesion in the common iliac artery via bidirectional approach from both inguinal regions, the device was allegedly unable to cross the lesion.It was further reported that the stent allegedly dislodged upon the physician pulled the shaft of the device.Reportedly, the stent was placed in the external iliac artery.The procedure was completed by using another device.There was no reported patient injury.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H10: as the lot number for the device was provided, a review of the device history records was performed.The sample was not returned to the manufacturer for inspection/evaluation.Therefore, the investigation of the reported event is inconclusive.Based upon the available information, the definitive root cause for this event is unknown.The instructions for use (ifu) is adequate for the reported device/patient code(s) and provides general instructions for use, as well as warnings, precautions and potential complications associated with the device.Upon receipt of new or additional information, a follow-up report will be submitted as applicable.H10: d4 (expiration date: 06/2024).H11: section a through f ¿ the information provided by bd represents all the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant/reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Manufacturing review: a complaint history review was performed.This is the fourth complaint reported for this product/lot number combination.However, the device history records were reviewed and there was nothing found to indicate there was a manufacturing related cause for this event.Investigation summary: the device was not returned for evaluation.No photos or video files were provided for review.The result of the investigation is inconclusive for the reported failure to advance and stent dislodgement issues.The root cause for the reported failure to advance and stent dislodgement issues could not be determined based upon the available information received from the field communications.Labeling review: the instructions for use for the lifestream product was reviewed and contains the following information relevant to the reported event: indication for use: the lifestream¿ balloon expandable vascular covered stent is indicated for the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions in common and external iliac arteries.Warnings: attempts to retract the covered stent into the sheath/guiding catheter may result in dislodgement and embolization of the covered stent.Maintain guidewire placement across the lesion and withdraw the endovascular system only until the proximal end of the covered stent is aligned with the tip of the sheath/guiding catheter.Do not attempt to remove an unexpanded covered stent through the sheath/guiding catheter.Remove the sheath/guiding catheter and endovascular system as a single unit.Attempting to remove an unexpanded covered stent by pulling it back into the sheath/guiding catheter may result in stent dislodgement.The covered stent cannot be repositioned after it is deployed.Precautions: the device should only be used by physicians who are trained in endovascular procedures and are familiar with the complications, side effects and hazards of peripheral vascular interventions.Anatomical variances may complicate the procedure; use caution when advancing the endovascular system through tortuous or difficult anatomy.Prior to device use, refer to the covered stent sizing table on the label and read the instructions for use.Crossing the implant with catheters or other adjunct devices can result in covered stent dislodgement or damage.Materials required for the lifestream¿ balloon expandable vascular covered stent procedure: introducer sheath or guiding catheter with appropriate inner diameter.Directions for use: site access and preparation: 1.Using standard techniques access the artery and place an introducer sheath or guiding catheter of appropriate inner diameter and a 0.035" (0.89 mm) guidewire across the target lesion.2.Perform diagnostic angiography to confirm site of implantation and measure the reference vessel diameter and lesion length.Covered stent size selection: 3.Select a covered stent diameter that is approximately 5%-20% larger than the largest reference vessel diameter at the proximal or distal target site.Refer to the sizing table on the packaging label for appropriate selection of the covered stent diameter and length.Endovascular system preparation: 4.Carefully remove the selected device from the package.5.Inspect the covered stent for adherence to the balloon and centered placement in relation to the balloon marker bands.If the covered stent is not centered and/or does not firmly adhere to the balloon, do not use.Air evacuation: 7.A 20 cc or smaller luer-lock syringe with a minimum of 5 cc¿s sterile saline mixture is recommended for use for aspirating this device.12.Verify that the covered stent is still centered between the two radiopaque markers on the balloon catheter.Introduction of the endovascular system and placement of the covered stent: 13.Advance the endovascular system over the guidewire into the introducer sheath.14.Further advance the endovascular system to the target treatment site within the introducer sheath and position the covered stent across the lesion.Verify that the covered stent is still centered within the balloon marker bands.Slowly retract the introducer sheath/guiding catheter while maintaining the position of the covered stent.Ensure the introducer sheath is retracted far enough to not compromise the balloon expansion and covered stent release.15.Slowly inflate the endovascular system balloon to nominal pressure, expanding the covered stent.Confirm complete expansion via fluoroscopic visualization.A 15 ¿ 30 second inflation time is recommended.Important: do not exceed the rated burst pressure of the delivery system.16.After covered stent deployment, apply negative pressure to the balloon until it is fully deflated.Withdraw the delivery system while maintaining negative pressure with the guidewire remaining across the lesion.17.Confirm optimal covered stent wall apposition using standard angiographic techniques.If the covered stent has not achieved full wall apposition, a post dilation with an appropriately sized balloon should be performed.5-8 mm devices may be post-dilated with balloons up to 10 mm in diameter.9-12 mm devices may be post-dilated with balloons up to 12 mm in diameter.Storage: store in a cool, dry place.Keep away from sunlight.Use the device prior to the use by date specified on the package.D4 (expiration date: 06/2024).H11: section a through f ¿ the information provided by bd represents all the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant/reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to bd.Device not returned.
