An angiosculpt catheter was used in a coronary procedure to treat a moderately calcified mid circumflex artery.The angiosculpt was inflated multiple times over the rated burst pressure (rbp), and did not fully deflate the balloon, prior to removing.During removal, the angiosculpt got stuck inside the non-philips guide extension catheter and separated but was able to be removed all together.Imaging confirmed that no device fragments were left inside the patient.Upon removal, the separated angiosculpt portion was forcibly removed to check that all parts were present, causing damage to the guide extension catheter.The procedure was abandoned with no patient injury reported.Post procedure, the physician acknowledged that due to operator error (inflating balloon above rbp), resulted in the damage observed.This product problem is being submitted due to distal shaft separation, potential for harm.

Block a: the patient's dob or age at time of event, gender, sex, weight, ethnicity, and race are unknown.This information was not available from the facility.Block b6/b7: patient information regarding relevant tests/laboratory data or medical history are unknown.This information was not available from the facility.Block g2: foreign- united kingdom.Block h3: the angiosculpt device was not returned by the facility, thus no returned product investigation was performed.Block h6: based on the complaint details, the probable cause of the separation is likely due to the user over inflating the balloon above rbp and not fully deflating the balloon prior to removing from the patient.This caused the angiosculpt to get stuck inside the concomitant device and likely applied some degree of force to remove from the patient, resulting in the separation.Per the ifu warnings: - do not exceed the rated burst pressure (rbp) during balloon inflation.- do not advance or retract the catheter unless the balloon is fully deflated under vacuum.- if resistance is met during manipulation, determine the cause of the resistance before proceeding.Submission of this report does not, in itself, represent a conclusion by the manufacturer and/or authorized representative or the national competent authority that the content of this report is complete or accurate, that the medical device(s) listed failed in any manner and/or that the medical device(s) caused or contributed to an alleged death or deterioration in the state of the health of any person.

Block h3: the angiosculpt catheter was returned in two pieces, along with a 6f non-philips guide catheter.The distal section includes the distal tip, distal bond, balloon, scoring element, intermediate bond, transition tubing, distal shaft, rx port, and a portion of the intermediate shaft; measuring approx.35 cm in length.The proximal section includes a portion of the intermediate shaft, core wire, hypotube, strain relief, and hub; measuring approximately 114 cm in length.Visual inspection found a damaged intermediate bond, kinked transition tubing, and a stretched distal shaft.At the location of the separation, the core wire was exposed, resulting in a sharp edge observed.The overall catheter length (149 cm) is above the expected working length (136-142 cm), due to the stretched distal shaft.Additionally, the guide catheter was separated in two pieces with the distal portion tangled to the catheter transition tubing.Submission of this report does not, in itself, represent a conclusion by the manufacturer and/or authorized representative or the national competent authority that the content of this report is complete or accurate, that the medical device(s) listed failed in any manner and/or that the medical device(s) caused or contributed to an alleged death or deterioration in the state of the health of any person.
