Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a mildly tortuous and non-calcified lesion in the obtuse marginal artery.A 2.25 x 12 mm xience alpine stent delivery system (sds) failed to cross; however, it was not known if it was due to that anatomy or a previously implanted stent.An attempt to remove the sds by pulling it back was made; however, it was noted that the stent had dislodged and was on the guide wire in the circumflex artery.An unknown balloon catheter was advanced and used to smash the dislodged stent against the artery wall.An unknown stent was deployed over the crushed stent.The procedure was successfully completed with pre-dilatation and the deployment of a new xience stent in the obtuse marginal artery.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Evaluation summary: a visual inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported stent dislodgement was confirmed.The reported failure to advance could not be tested as it was based on operational circumstances.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 did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.The investigation determined that the reported failure to advance, stent dislodgement, device embedded in vessel or plaque and subsequent treatment appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture or labeling of the device.
