Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient was pre-treated with 5 days of platelet aggregation inhibitors (plavix/asa) and then underwent successful stent-assisted coil (subject device) embolization of an aneurysm located at the right post communicating artery (r-pcomm).Five to six hours post procedure, the patient experienced stroke-like symptoms at the parietal lobe.Emergent computed tomography angiography (cta) did not reveal significant clot.Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (mri) revealed tiny embolic cva (cerebrovascular accident) at the middle cerebral artery (mca) territory in the motor strip.Heparin was administered.According to the physician, the clotting/stroke was possibly related to either the stent or the coil mass at the pcomm artery.The patient neurological deficits resulting from the stroke were resolved after 4 days.

Manufacturer Narrative

A review of the device history record could not be performed because the lot number was not reported.The subject device is not available; therefore, functional testing as well as physical analysis cannot be performed.However, adverse events associated with the use of coil or with the endovascular procedures include, but are not limited to: stroke, emboli and noted as such in the device directions for use (dfu).Therefore, an assignable cause of anticipated procedural complications has been assigned to this event.
