Event or Problem Description
|
|
This case was reviewed and investigated according to the manufacturer's policy.It was reported that after using the manufacturer's device to successfully treat an in stent "restonosis" (isr) of 7/80 in the superficial femoral artery (sfa), angiography displayed a delay in contrast media that stopped below the stent.Changing to an aspiration catheter it was observed that fresh thrombus material flushed into an external filter.After ballooning the isr with a drug coated balloon (dcb) the vessel showed a smaller diameter below the stent which was treated with a spasmolyticum and a plain old balloon angioplasty (poba).This event is being reported because the patient experienced an embolism.It could not conclusively be determined if the manufacturer's device caused or contributed to the event.
