Event or Problem Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat the proximal circumflex and mid left anterior descending (lad) coronary arteries.The area was dilated with a non-abbott 2.0x20 mm balloon and 2 non abbott stent delivery systems (sds) were attempted to be advanced but did not cross.Further pre-dilatation was performed and again a non-abbott sds failed to cross.A mini trek balloon was advanced and inflated and a fourth non-abbott sds failed to cross the lesion.More pre-dilatation was performed and rotablation was performed.A non-abbott stent was implanted and post dilated.The 2.8x16 mm graftmaster covered stent was attempted to be advanced but failed to cross so more pre-dilatation was performed.The 2.8x16 mm graftmaster was advanced again and implanted at 14/15 atmospheres but did not seal the perforation.Another 2.8x16 mm graftmaster was advanced and implanted at 15 atmospheres but did not seal the perforation.Pericardiocentesis was performed and the patient was intubated.A 5fr pigtail catheter was inserted into the pericardial space and a non-abbott balloon was advanced and inflated to 15 atmospheres for 20 minutes.The 3.5x16 mm graftmaster covered stent was then advanced and did not cross so it was removed.Further pre-dilatation was performed and ventricular fibrillation was noted so the patient was shocked at 150 joules.A non-abbott stent was advanced and deployed and then the 3.5x16 mm graftmaster was advanced again and deployed at 15 atmospheres but did not seal the perforation.The patient was sent for emergent coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) surgery.Later the patient expired in the intensive care unit.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for evaluation.Production record and corrective and preventive actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.A review of the complaint handling database was not performed because the failure mode was not specified.Based on the additional information received from the site stating the device did not fail to seal and there were no adverse patient effects due to this device, this would not be a reportable complaint.Therefore, no investigation was performed.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.H6 correction: health effect - clinical codes 3271 and 2130 removed; 4582 added.Health effect - impact code 4641 removed; 2199 added.Medical device problem codes 2682, 2920, and 2017 removed; 3189 added.
