The physician was using a dxterity diagnostic catheter when treating the proximal lad, moderate tortuosity, non-calcified, no stenosis.No damage was noted to the device packaging.No issues noted when removing the device from the packaging.The device was inspected and prepped per ifu with no issues.No resistance was encountered when advancing the device, excessive force was not applied.A dissection occurred near the location of the tip of the catheter and was treated with a resolute onyx stent.It is reported that the physician does not think that the catheter caused the dissection, based on the patient's clinical symptoms, this dissection may have already been there.No other device was in this vessel.No additional patient clinical sequelae reported.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Cine image review: the dissection can hardly be identified at the origin of lcx.The potential cause of the dissection might be the catheter tip although a pre-existing dissection cannot be ruled out.The dissection is located at the lcx.A pre-existing dissection cannot be ruled out since the initial projection for the left coronaries does not show a perpendicular view of the lcx.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
