Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a de novo lesion located in the mid circumflex artery that was non-tortuous and non- calcified.After pre-dilatation with a non-abbott balloon, the xience prox 4.0 x 33 mm stent delivery system (sds) was positioned.When the sds was attempted to be inflated, the shaft broke and balloon would only inflate to 4 atmospheres before the pressure fell.When the sds was removed, slight resistance was met with the guide catheter and the shaft separated 30 cm proximal to the distal end.The partially expanded stent slid off the balloon and remained in the vessel.An attempt was made to snare the broken shaft: however, it was not successful.A balloon was then inserted to the end of the guide catheter and the entire sds was removed from the anatomy.Two xience prox stents (4.0 x 18 mm and 3.5 x 23 mm) were used to compress the dislodged stent to the vessel wall.There was no adverse patient sequela.There was no clinically significant delay reported.No additional information was provided.

(b)(4).Evaluation summary: the device was returned for analysis.The reported break and detachment were able to be confirmed.The reported stent dislodgement was able to be confirmed.The reported failure to deploy and the reported difficult to remove were unable to be replicated in a testing environment as they were based on operational circumstances.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
