Event or Problem Description
|
|
During a procedure an integrity rx coronary drug eluting stent was used to treat a severely calcified, moderately tortuous lesion exhibiting 80% stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending (lad) artery.The device was inspected with no issues noted.Negative prep was not performed.The lesion was pre dilated.The device did not pass through a previously deployed stent.Resistance was encountered when advancing the device.It was reported that the stent fractured into two pieces on attempt to remove the stent.One portion remained in the proximal lad where it was crushed up against the artery wall.The second portion became lodged at the ostia left main where it remains immobile.No attempt to snare was made for fear of embolization.The patient is alive with no injury.

Relevant history: angina pectoris, hypertension.Additional information: the lesion was pre-dilated with a 2.0x20mm euphora balloon to 13.5atm.The 2.25x26mm integrity bms stent was unable to cross the lesion and was removed.The lesion was dilated again multiple times with the euphora up to 15.1atm.The 2.25x26mm integrity stent was re-inserted.The 2.25x26mm integrity stent again could not cross the lesion and was removed.The lesion was dilated again multiple times with the euphora balloon up to 15.1atm.The 2.25x26mm integrity stent was unable to be deployed at the distal end of the prox lad.A 2.5x8mm integrity bms stent was deployed to push the distal section of the broken stent into the arterial wall.The proximal part attached to calcium in the ostial segment of the left main.The patient suffered chest pain post procedure.Correction: device is integrity rx bare metal stent.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.

Images were received for review.The images provided show the target lesion in the proximal lad and the pre-dilatation activities prior to the stent dislodgment and stent breakage.No images were provided showing the unsuccessful delivery attempts and removal of the stent and delivery system from the vessel prior to the stent dislodgement.The vessel morphology appears to have impacted on the unsuccessful delivery and the dislodgement of the stent.The mechanism of stent breakage has not been identified on the procedural images.But it appears most likely that the retrieval attempts resulted in mechanical damage which resulted in the stent breaking.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
