Event Description
|
During a procedure an attempt was made to use a resolute integrity rx coronary drug eluting stent to treat a moderately tortuous, severely calcified lesion exhibiting 95% stenosis located in the proximal left anterior descending (lad) artery.The device was inspected with no issues.Negative prep was performed with no issues.The lesion was pre-dilated using a 15x20 balloon.The device did not pass through a previously deployed stent.Resistance was encountered when advancing the device.Excessive force was used during delivery.It was reported that the stent was unable to cross as it got stuck in the lesion due to calcification.While attempting to remove the device a fracture of the stent was observed.It was indicated that stent deformation occurred.The procedure was completed using a non-medtronic stent.The patient is reported to be alive with no injury.
