Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a heavily calcified chronic total occlusion of the distal circumflex artery that was 100% stenosed.The radial approach was taken.Pre-dilatation was done with an unspecified balloon dilatation catheter.Then, a 3.5 x 18 mm xience prime stent delivery system (sds) was advanced and met initial resistance with the anatomy.A kink was also noted on the distal shaft.Then during deployment of the stent at 10 atmospheres, since the sds met initial resistance with the anatomy, the stent deployed partially in the lesion and partially in healthy tissue.Therefore, the stent was post-dilated with an unspecified balloon catheter per normal procedure in order to be fully apposed in the vessel and lesion.There was no adverse patient sequela reported.No additional information was provided.

(b)(4).The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents from this lot.It should be noted that the xience prime everolimus eluting coronary stent system instructions for use states: do not use if any defects are noted.In this case the ifu deviation did not contribute to the reported difficulties.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.Additionally, the difficult anatomy interacted with the device during deployment causing the reported difficulty to deploy.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
