Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a moderately tortuous and moderately calcified lesion in the right coronary artery to the posterior lateral artery segment.Following pre-dilatation, a 48mm xience xpedition stent delivery system (sds) was advanced to the segment and was successfully deployed.A 3.5x38mm xience sierra sds was attempted to be advanced to the mid right coronary artery to distal right coronary artery segment; however, the sds became stuck and the stent implant shifted on the balloon.The sds balloon was inflated to expand the proximal part of stent implant and the sds was removed without issue.A mini trek balloon was then used to expand the distal part of the stent.The 3.5x38mm xience sierra sds was deployed within the target lesion.A new 3.5x33mm xience sierra sds was deployed to fully cover the rest of lesion.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure and no adverse patient sequela.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
Internal file number - (b)(4).The device was not returned for analysis.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 did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.The investigation determined the reported difficulties appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely the device interacted with the difficult anatomy during advancement to the lesion causing the reported failure to advance and stent movement (unstable stent).The device was then deployed within the target lesion; however, only the proximal portion of the stent was fully expanded causing the reported difficult to deploy and subsequent post-dilatation (additional therapy/non-surgical procedure).There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling of the device.
