Results: the penumbra system 3d revascularization device (psr3d) stent was fractured from the delivery wire and tangled in the non-penumbra stent retriever.The psr3d stent detached via double strut fracture at the detached tip.The psr3d was damaged and unable to be functionally tested.The psr3d stent portion was untangled from the stent retriever during investigation.Conclusions: evaluation of the returned psr3d revealed that the stent portion was fractured from the delivery wire via a double strut fracture.This damage is likely a result of forcefully retracting the device against resistance.Further evaluation revealed that the stent was damaged.This damage was likely a result of the retrieval process using the non-penumbra stent retriever.Penumbra psr3ds are inspected during in-process inspection and during quality inspection after manufacturing.The manufacturing records for this lot were reviewed and did not reveal any outstanding discrepancies, design, or quality concerns.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure in the middle cerebral artery (mca) using a penumbra system 3d revascularization device (psr3d).During the procedure, the physician did not mention any resistance while using the psr3d.However, the psr3d stent fractured from the pusher wire on the first pass.Therefore, the physician used another stent retriever to remove the psr3d with the thrombus attached.After the stent retriever and psr3d were removed, an angiography was performed and revealed that the mca had become perforated.However, it is unknown when the perforation occurred and which device caused the perforation.The physician then used coils (unknown manufacturer) to treat the perforation.The patient's current medical status is unknown.
