Event or Problem Description

|
The physician intended to use an integrity bare metal stent to treat a lesion located in the proximal saphenous vein graft.It was reported that the lesion was severely tortuous, severely calcified with 70% stenosis.In stent restenosis was noted.No damage was noted to packaging and no issues were encountered when removing the device from the hoop/tray.The device was inspected with no issues.Negative prep was not performed.It was reported that the stent would not cross the lesion despite multiple attempts to position the integrity stent.The stent did not pass through a previously deployed stent however resistance was encountered when advancing the device but no excessive force was used.The physician also pre-dilated the lesion three times using nc balloons.Prior to last attempt to position the stent, the stent had a 4x4 gauze laying on it.When the gauze was removed it caught on the stent causing it to be stretched and deformed.

Kinks were evident along the hypotube of the device.There was a kink on the distal shaft approx 8.6cm proximal to the distal tip.The mid-to-distal portion of the stent had moved distally off of the distal tip of the device.The mid-to-distal segments of the stent which moved distally on the balloon were deformed and stretched with bunched struts.Crimp impressions were visible on the exposed balloon surface.Inner lumen patency was verified with a 0.015 inch mandrel advanced distally through 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.
