Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a 90% stenosed, ectatic, and moderately calcified de novo lesion in the distal right coronary artery.The lesion was pre-dilated with a 3.0x20mm trek balloon dilatation catheter.An attempt to advance a 3.5x28mm xience prox stent delivery system (sds) was made; however, the sds failed to cross the lesion.The sds was removed and once outside the anatomy it was noted that the stent struts were a little bit splayed [expanded] and seemed like the balloon stent was partially inflated; however, no pressure had been applied.A new 3.5x28mm xience prox sds was going to be used, but it was compared to the sds that failed to cross and it was noted that the 3.5x28mm xience prox sds had a bigger crimp profile.The procedure was successfully completed with the second 3.5x28mm xience prox sds and angiogram showed good results.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

(b)(4).Evaluation summary: the device was returned for evaluation and underwent a visual and dimensional inspection.The inflation issues were not confirmed.The reported failure to advance the device was unable to be replicated in a testing environment 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 identified no similar incidents from this lot.A conclusive cause for the reported difficulties could not be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.

(b)(4).The stent profile met specification, thus the larger stent crimp profile was not confirmed.It is likely that the failure to advance was due to the anatomy which was reported as 90% stenosed, ectatic, and moderately calcified.
