Event or Problem Description

As reported, during an unspecified procedure, an advance 35 lp low profile balloon catheter was unable to pass through a lesion within the superficial femoral artery (sfa).The mid-sfa lesion was described as a highly calcified, chronic total occlusion.A contralateral approach was used from the "inguinal region".The bifurcation angle was not tight, and the anatomy was not tortuous; however, the anatomy was calcified.Another manufacturer's 6-french sheath was used, as well as another manufacturer's wire guide.Reportedly, the physician wanted to change to a 0.035-inch wire during the procedure, but could not do so.The device was flushed before the procedure, per the instructions for use.After the balloon catheter (complaint device) was unable to cross the severely calcified lesion, another manufacturer's 3-millimeter balloon catheter was able to cross the lesion; however, that device failed to dilate the lesion.The user then decided to dilate the lesion after placing a stent; however, the stent delivery system was unable to pass through to the target site.During the procedure, blood flow "stopped"; therefore, the procedure was converted to a femoral-to-popliteal bypass and completed.The patient recovered.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.

Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown, unavailable, or unchanged.B1, h1: additional information received 14apr2024 stated that the complaint device was unable to be advanced at all and therefore, it did not cause the femoral-popliteal bypass procedure.As such, this complaint is no longer reportable.Per a search of risk documentation and previous complaint data, there is no evidence to suggest that difficult advancement of this device would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or a serious injury if the failure were to recur.Furthermore, there is no evidence that the device caused or contributed to a serious injury in this case, as no life-threatening or permanently impairing injury was alleged, nor was intervention taken as a result of the device failure which would be required to prevent permanent impairment or damage to the patient.As such, the event is not reportable under fda 21 cfr part 803 as it does not meet the criteria for a death, serious injury, or reportable product malfunction.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
