Event or Problem Description
An attempt was made to use one 6f telescope guide extension catheter (gec) in a mildly tortuous, severely calcified lesion with 80% lesion stenosis in the proximal left main (lm) coronary artery and left anterior descending (lad) artery.The device was inspected with no issues.The device was prepped per ifu with no issues.Resistance was encountered when advancing the device.Excessive force was not used.The device was not kinked and re-straightened during use.The device was not excessively torqued.It was reported that the telescope began to unravel towards the tip of the catheter.The deformation was noted when advancing the device in the vessel, and after the device had been removed from the patient.A telescope detachment was not noted.The telescope was removed.There was no harm to the patient.The patient is alive with no injury.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Additional information: a telescope tip detachment was not noted when the device was inside the patient and there were no device/components left behind inside the patient.The device appeared to be stretched and extended but had not detached.It is likely that the tip detached after the device was removed from the patient upon inspection and/or packaging for return.It is believed the telescope became stuck on the vessel calcium which contributed to the event.Correction: a launcher guide catheter was in use with the telescope device and there is no complaint against the launcher device.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.
