(b)(4).During processing of this complaint, attempts were made to obtain complete event, patient and device information.Guide cath: turnpike, guidezila.Stent: xience xpedition x 2.The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record and complaint history of the reported lot could not be conducted because the lot number was not provided.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely that during removal interaction with one of the implanted stents resulted in the reported entrapment.Manipulation of the device as an attempt was made to remove the guide wire by using a non-abbott micro catheter and guide extension resulted in the reported device damaged by another device and the reported detachment.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.The additional xience xpedition device is filed under a separate medwatch report #.
