Review of cine images received: the images capture calcified lesion sites in the lad as reported by the account.Pre-dilation is visible from the images by an unidentified balloon.There are no images capturing the attempted delivery and subsequent removal of the resolute integrity 2.75 x 18mm device.The images show the delivery and successful deployment of numerous unidentified stents along the length of the vessel.Product analysis: the stent delivery system was returned to medtronic for evaluation.On review the stent was positioned on the balloon between the marker bands as per specifications.There was deformation to the first distal stent wrap with struts raised.There were kinks along the distal shaft 9.2cm and 21.4cm distal to the guidewire entry port.There was deformation to the distal tip.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
