Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the procedure was to treat an internal iliac artery lesion with 90% stenosis.A 7x39 mm omnilink elite stent delivery system (sds) was advanced; however, it failed to cross the lesion due to the anatomy.The 6x39 mm omnilink elite sds was advanced and it also failed to cross the lesion.The stent then became dislodged from the sds and moved into the aorta.A new 10mm omnilink stent was implanted to embed the dislodged stent in the iliac artery and complete the procedure.There was a clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The device was not returned for analysis.Production record and corrective and preventative actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a query of the complaint handling database for the reported lot revealed there is no indication of a lot specific issue.A conclusive cause for the reported difficulties could not be determined; however, the subsequent unexpected medical intervention, device embedded in tissue or plaque and delay to treatment/ therapy appear to be related to the operational context of the procedure.Factors that could contribute to failure to advance include, but are not limited to, patient anatomical morphology, inner lumen obstruction, patient disease state, pre-dilatation strategy, device placement technique, interaction with previously placed stents or accessory devices.Factors that may contribute to stent dislodgment include, but are not limited to, negative pressure during sheath removal, forced sheath removal, mishandling during product preparation for use, interaction with accessory devices, previously placed stents and/or patient disease state.In this case, it is possible that the device may have interacted with the 90% stenosed lesion during advancement, causing the reported failure to advance.Further interaction with the challenging anatomy during advancement/positioning of the device may have contributed to the reported stent dislodgement; however, this cannot be confirmed.A new 10mm omnilink balloon expanding stent (bes) was used to embed the dislodged omnilink bes in the iliac artery and complete the procedure.Based on the 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.
