Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure performed was to treat mid left anterior descending (lad) artery remaining stenosis.On (b)(6) 2024, a xience skypoint stent was implanted in the proximal lad as it was noted that the lesion was 75% stenosed.On (b)(6) 2024, the lesion was predilated with a 3.0x12mm non-abbott balloon and a 2.5x23mm xience skypoint stent advanced to the mid lad without no resistance.However, during inflation the stent balloon ruptured at 8 atmospheres (atm) and the stent did not deploy.Therefore, the stent balloon was removed and 2.5x15mm trek balloon was delivered to the lesion and inflated twice to atms.A 2.5x20mm non-abbott stent was implanted at 18 atms.There were no adverse patient effects and there was no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

A visual and functional inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported material rupture was confirmed.The reported difficult or delayed activation could not be tested as it was based on operational context.A review of the production records and corrective or preventive actions (capa) was performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a query of the complaint handling database for the reported lot revealed no indication of a lot specific issue.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported difficulties; however, the subsequent treatment appears to be related to operational circumstances.It was reported that the stent delivery system¿s balloon ruptured during inflation.Analysis of the returned device confirmed the reported material rupture as a pinhole.Factors that may contribute to a pinhole (material rupture) include, but are not limited to, inadequate balloon integrity, interaction with challenging anatomy, interaction with accessory devices, and/or manipulation against resistance.Based on the information provided, and the return analysis, a conclusive cause for the material rupture cannot be determined.Additionally, the pinhole likely contributed to the reported difficult/delayed activation of the stent.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.

A visual and functional inspection was performed on the returned device.A proxy 20/30 indeflator, filled with water was used in attempt to inflate the balloon to rate burst pressure (rbp) of 16 atmospheres.The sds leaked due to a pinhole in the balloon at the proximal balloon marker, confirming the reported material rupture.The reported material rupture was confirmed.Scanning electron microscopy (sem) was performed on the returned device for further analysis.The balloon exhibited a leak in an area of strut impressions just distal to the proximal marker.The reported difficult or delayed activation could not be tested as it was based on operational context.A review of the production records and corrective or preventive actions (capa) was performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a query of the complaint handling database for the reported lot revealed a potential product quality issue.The investigation determined the reported issue appears to be related to a potential product quality issue.The issue is being addressed per internal operating procedures.Abbott vascular will continue to trend the performance of these devices.D1 correction: brand name updated.D2a correction: common device name updated.D3 correction: name, address updated.H6 - code 3270, 2199 were removed.
