Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion in the distal superficial femoral artery (sfa).The 6x100 abs pro vascular self-expanding stent system (sess) was advanced with resistance over a non-abbott 0.035 guide wire (gw); however, the sess was able to reach the target lesion.The stent was attempted to be deployed, but the thumbwheel was stuck and the stent completely failed to deploy.Therefore, the sess was removed from the patient and another 6x100mm abs pro was able to be advanced over the same gw and implanted without issue.Then, a 6x80mm abs pro sess was advance and intended to be implanted proximal to the previously implanted stent; however, the 6x80mm sess failed to cross the target lesion due to the anatomy and the sheath of the stent was noted to be stretched (broke).The 6x80mm sess was removed from the patient without issue and a non-abbott stent was used to complete the procedure.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay reported in the procedure.No additional information.Return device analysis found the 6x100 abs pro stent implant was exposed 3 mm from the distal end of the sheath.The stent sheath was retracted 6 millimeters (mm) from the base of the tip.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was returned for analysis.The reported failure to advance was unable to be replicated in a testing environment as it was based on operational circumstances.The reported sheath break was able to be confirmed as there was noted bunched sheath.Production record and corrective and preventive actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a review of the complaint handling database identified no other incidents from this lot.As there was no damage noted to the device during the inspection prior to use, the investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that during advancement resistance was met with the anatomy resulting in the reported failure to advance.Interaction and/or manipulation of the device resulted in the noted exposed stent, the noted bent/split tip and ultimately resulted in the reported broke sheath/noted bunched sheath.Based on the reported information and results of the complaint investigation there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.The additional devices referenced in b5 are filed under separate medwatch report numbers.
