Event Description
|
It was reported that during a flow diverter stenting of a sidewall paraopthalmic aneurysm procedure, the flow diverter (subject device) distal end was deployed and opened successfully.It was then resheathed to position more proximally as the end of the stent needed to be opened in a curve.A microcatheter was used to push the stent open.The stent was gently resheathed three to four times to allow the proximal end to open.The physician realized the stent was not going to open and decided to resheath the device so as to remove it from the patient anatomy.However, this was not possible as the stent had migrated distally, off the resheath pad.The distal access catheter was brought to try and capture the flow diverter, and a balloon was used to trap the flow diverter inside the distal access catheter so as to remove it from the patient anatomy.After the procedure, a thrombus was seen in the distal middle cerebral artery (mca) in occipital region and a distal thrombectomy was attempted.The patient suffered moderate paralysis of the right arm from this event.No further information is currently available.

It was reported that during a flow diverter stenting of a sidewall paraopthalmic aneurysm procedure, the flow diverter (subject device) distal end was deployed and opened successfully.It was then re-sheathed to position more proximally as the end of the stent needed to be opened in a curve.A microcatheter was used to push the stent open.The stent was gently re-sheathed three to four times to allow the proximal end to open.The physician realized the stent was not going to open and decided to re-sheath the device so as to remove it from the patient anatomy.However, this was not possible as the stent had migrated distally, off the re-sheath pad.The distal access catheter was brought to try and capture the flow diverter, and a balloon was used to trap the flow diverter inside the distal access catheter so as to remove it from the patient anatomy.After the procedure, a thrombus was seen in the distal middle cerebral artery (mca) in occipital region and a distal thrombectomy was attempted.The patient suffered moderate paralysis of the right arm from this event.No further information is currently available.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device history record (dhr) review confirms that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.During visual inspection, the stent delivery wire was returned within the micro catheter.The stent was returned in its deployed state with blood / embolus within and was noted not to be fully opened and deformed.The stent delivery wire was kinked towards the distal end.The introducer sheath was not returned.No other anomalies were noted.A functional test was not performed as the stent had been deployed and the stent delivery wire was removed from the micro catheter without difficulty.The device was returned and the stent was noted to be deformed on the distal end and it was not opened fully, confirming the event.The thrombus which was reported to have been removed was noted within the returned stent.It is probable that the stent may have been damaged due to the resistance experienced during navigation, causing failure to open the stent.It is probable that the stent was deployed too far distally to allow it to be re-captured and migration from the re-sheath pad.The data reasonably suggest the clinical event is anticipated in nature, a product related root cause does not apply and the issue is due to a known physiological effect of the procedure and/or patient condition noted with the directions for use, product labeling and/or risk documentation files.Based on additional information, device analysis and medical review assessment, a probable cause of procedural factors will be assigned to the reported events of stent inability to open and stent migration and, anticipated procedural factors will be assigned to the reported events of patient thromboembolism and neurological deficit.
