Event Description
|
The physician used a resolute integrity rx drug-eluting stent to treat a moderately tortuous and moderately calcified lesion exhibiting 95% stenosis in the proximal obtuse marginal.The device was removed from its packaging per ifu and inspected with no issues noted.Negative prep was performed with no issues identified.Resistance was encountered advancing the device and excessive force was used during delivery.The stent was deployed, but not evenly (cylindrically) as there was a ' chunk of calcium in the middle' and the stent did not sufficiently expand prior to attempting removal of the balloon.It was reported that difficulties were encountered removing the balloon following stent deployment.Sufficient time was given to allow the balloon to fully deflate prior to attempting removal.After multiple inflations and aggressive removal, the balloon was successfully removed from the patient.Balloon and guide wire had to be removed at the same time.No damage noted to the guidewire.No deformation was noted to the stent.No patient injury was encountered and artery is patent.
