It was reported that the physician was attempting to use a resolute integrity rx drug eluting stent to treat a non-tortuous and non- calcified lad lesion exhibiting 90% stenosis.No damage noted to device packaging and no issues were noted when removing the devices from the hoop/tray.The device was inspected and negative prep performed with no issues noted.A 7f non-medtronic guide catheter was prepped as per ifu, with no damage noted prior to use.It was reported that the lesion was not pre-dilated.During the procedure it was reported that the device did not pass through a previously deployed stent.No resistance was encountered when advancing the device or excessive force used.The stent was expanded evenly and sufficiently along the entire length.After stent deployment it was reported that removal difficulties were encountered, the device became stuck while it was retracted from the guiding catheter and it was removed by exerting a force.Sufficient time was given to allow the balloon to fully deflate prior to attempting to remove the device.No resistance was encountered as the device was retracted over the non medtronic guidewire.No damage was noted to the guidewire post removal of the sds.It was reported that post dilation was performed.No patient injury reported.
