The device referenced in this report was not returned to shockwave medical, inc.Therefore, a physical examination cannot be performed.The cause of the device being difficult to remove could not be definitively determined.The physician believes the event was related to the patient's disease and anatomy, and not related to ivl device.All components of the c2+ catheter were removed from the patient.The radio opaque tip of the guide extension (non-shockwave catheter) was left in the patient.Shockwave medical safety determined the event to be a causal relationship to both the device and procedure.Shockwave medical has controls in place to ensure devices are built to approved procedures and meet lot release acceptance criteria prior to being distributed.A review of the manufacturing and test documentation for subject lot does not reveal any issues with the manufacturing of the device.The device passed all of shockwave medical, inc.Acceptance criteria prior to shipping.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that a shockwave c2+ coronary intravascular lithotripsy (ivl) catheter was used during a procedure to treat a lesion in the coronary artery.The lesion was heavily calcified and required a 6 fr telescope guide-extension catheter to support advancement of a c2+ ivl catheter balloon.During an attempt to treat a diagonal branch, while inserting the ivl device into the telescope guide-extension catheter, it became stuck.The physician did not pulse the c2+ ivl balloon since they realized it was stuck; no pulses were delivered and the device was never inflated.The telescope guide-extension catheter was also unable to be removed from the patient.Both 6 fr telescope guide-extension catheter and c2+ ivl balloon became stuck in the diagonal branch despite multiple retrieval attempts.The physician obtained contralateral access and a second guide catheter and interventional wire were introduced in parallel beside the existing guide catheter.The physician was able to cross the lesion and inflate a small balloon to dislodge the 6 fr telescope guide-extension and c2+ ivl balloon.The radio-opaque tip of the 6 fr telescope guide-extension catheter remained lodged in the diagonal branch and could not be retrieved, while the c2+ balloon was removed intact.Multiple subsequent attempts to rewire the lesion were unsuccessful.The patient was transferred to a higher level of care for where it was decided that further intervention was not necessary.The diagonal branch remains 100% occluded and the patient is in stable condition.No patient sequalae was reported.The physician believes the event was related to the patient's disease and anatomy, and not related to the ivl device.
