Physician used a 3mm spider fx with a non-medtronic (cook ansel) 6fr sheath and non-medtronic (abbott command).014 guidewire during treatment of a 20mm, 70% calcified lesion in the patients proximal left posterior tibial artery and tibial/popliteal trunk.Vessel diameter reported as 3mm.Slight tortuosity and moderate calcification are reported.Ifu was followed and the device was prepped without issue.It is reported the rear portion of spider fx catheter broke into 2 segments but remained on the filter wire.The broken segments were successfully retrieved into the sheath and removed over the non-medtronic wire.014 wire.It is reported that difficulty had been experienced when getting the wire to exit the proximal port.It is believed the catheter may have been kinked trying to open the port, so the wire could exit more easily.The physician then placed a new 6fr 55cm sheath and rewired the lesion with a new non-medtronic wire.The lesion was ballooned.The physician was satisfied with the result.Additional angiograms were carried out to ensure no damage to patient vasculature.Angiogram confirmed good flow distally to the foot.

Visual inspection.The spider fx delivery catheter was received in two separate pieces.No ancillary devices were included.The green delivery catheter was fractured approximately 1 cm distal the clear segment of the catheter.The filter assembly was exposed outside from the fracture face of the delivery catheter.The exposed portion of the capture wire between the delivery catheter and the filter was looped/curved.The delivery catheter fracture was inspected under microscope and a radial fracture with the edges of the fracture face curved and distorted/stretched were observed.The delivery catheter was bent at an approximate 90-degree angle at the exit port of capture wire.The capture wire was pushed forward within the delivery catheter.The part of the capture wire that was not exposed of the fractured end of the delivery catheter was straight and showed no damage.The distal end of the delivery segment was analysed.The length was approximately 21 cm showing a radial fracture face with signs of stretching.The fracture face radial and had a ductile fracture face.It was discovered the delivery catheter was flattened/straightened approximately between 15 and 16 cm from the distal tip.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
