It was reported that when the physician inserted a resolute integrity rx drug eluting stent into the artery, it was determined that it was the wrong size.The stent was reported to not be visible under fluoro but the balloon was intact.The physician suspected that the stent was retained in the guide catheter.The balloon was inflated to see if the stent could be visualized but was unsuccessful.The guide and guide catheter was removed and the physician attempted to locate the stent by cutting the guide catheter using a sterile scissors.The stent could not be located due to the material the guide was made of.It was unknown if the stent was present in the guide or not.The physician continued the procedure by inserting a new guide and performed hd ivus but could not visualize the stent in the patient's body.It was reported that a 3.0x12mm resolute integrity was also listed as deployed.It is unknown which of the two devices were involved in the reported event.The patient was brought back in to have the device removed.The stent was retrieved in fragments.Stroke code was called after stent removal due to neuro symptoms.Symptoms reported as abated and no further issues reported.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.
