Block h6: device code a0401 captures the reportable event of stent shaft break.Block h6 device code has been corrected.Additional information was received on 06jun2025 stating that the stent was not detached but just visibly fractured.Although this can result in a clinically insignificant delay of the procedure, this event is unlikely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur.Therefore, boston scientific no longer considers this to be a reportable event.
