Patient weight is 89.2kg.As the stent remains implanted in the patient and the index procedure was 7 months prior to the reported event, the devices were not requested for return.A review of the lot history record (lhr) confirmed that there were no non-conformances; the devices from this lot conform to their predetermined specifications.Causes of stent thrombosis can be multi-factorial and can include patient characteristics (advanced age, acute coronary syndrome (especially nstemi on presentation), and comorbidities; not responsive to the antiplatelet therapy; use of multiple stents, vessel morphology; slow flow thrombogenic vessels; increase in stent surface reactivity; stent thrombogenic for patient; stent heated excessively by magnetic field; degradation of expired pzf coating; stent expanded beyond design intent; stent overstressed leading to fracture, and / or stent under under-expansion.Thrombosis is labeled in the cobra pzf instructions for use as a known potential adverse event.Investigation is not yet complete.A follow-up report will be filed with all significant, relevant information.The other cobra pzf stents referenced in b5 and d11 are being filed under separate manufacturer report numbers.This report was resubmitted as "initial" only per fda request.Note that codes in h6 that changed between the original 2018 initial submission and this re-submission were ommited.See original report for codes in use at the time.

On (b)(6) 2017, a 67-year-old male patient with a history of multivessel coronary artery disease, prior coronary artery bypass surgery (cabg) in the 1990's, and prior percutaneous coronary interventions (pci) in several vessels (2008, 2009, and 2011), extensive peripheral vascular disease with stents in both iliofemoral systems bilaterally, presented with pulmonary laceration, massive hemoptysis, and a non-st-elevated myocardial infarction (nstemi).Plavix was stopped due to increased risk of bleeding.Echocardiogram performed at admission showed left ventricle ejection fraction (lvef) at 45-50%.Coronary angiography showed a totally occluded right coronary artery (rca) and rca graft with faint collaterals; significant obstruction of the proximal left anterior descending (lad) that had been previously treated with drug-eluting stents in 2011 (which are widely patent); a codominant left circumflex (lcx) in the arteriovenous (av) groove with 80-90% stenosis and narrowing throughout the entire lcx to the distal takeoff (severe disease progression compared to 2011 angiograms).A vein graft to the lcx, which was a sequential x3 distal anastomoses remained open in 2011 and the left internal mammary artery (lima) graft to the lad was open.The vein graft to the left circumflex (lcx) had been treated several different times and is now a full metal jacket.After pre-dilating the lcx, intravascular ultrasound (ivus) confirmed severe fibrocalcific plaques throughout the entire vessel and minimum luminal area much lower than 4.0mm squared with 80-90% stenosis in the mid segment.As the patient was a high bleeding risk, the physician opted to treat the lcx with cobra pzf nanocoated stents, overlapping.A 3.5x15mm, a 3.0x18mm, another 3.0x18mm, and a 3.0x30mm cobra pzf nanocoated stent was each deployed at nominal pressure.The 3.0mm stents were post-dilated at high pressures (16 atmospheres) for optimization.The procedure was concluded with excellent results and timi flow of 3.The patient was loaded with 300mg of plavix following the procedure and discharged with continuation of plavix for 4-6 weeks.On (b)(6) 2018, the patient was hospitalized for lcx occlusion due to proximal in-stent thrombosis in cobra.On (b)(6) 2018, pci was performed to treat thrombosis.After aspiration of thrombus using a pronto lp, followed by pre-dilatation, two drug-eluting stents (3.0x28mm and 3.5x28mm) were deployed.Ivus was performed, followed by post-dilatation, and the pci was concluded.There were no reported adverse patient sequelae.Additional information has been requested.
