Analysis: the device in question was not received from the field.The details provided indicate that use of the icast covered stent resulted in unexpected bleeding ¿ perforation of the arterial wall.The details provided also mention that multiple wires and catheters had been introduced in an attempt to navigate the significant angle of the artery unsuccessfully.As there were no images of the case provided there is no evidence to conclude that the icast covered stent was the cause of the perforation of the artery.As mentioned multiple other wires and catheters were introduced unsuccessfully prior to using the icast covered stent.A full review of the catheter lot history records was performed.Below is an overview of the quality and performance criteria that every lot of icast covered stent systems is tested to.This inspection requires that the catheter lot must pass the following: ¿ ability of the stent and delivery system to be passed through the labeled introducer sheath (6fr).¿ ability to deploy the stent at nominal pressure (8atm).¿ ability to withdraw the deflated balloon catheter back through the labeled introducer sheath ¿ ability of the delivery system to withstand 5 inflate/deflate cycles at the rated burst pressure (12atm) without leaks or failures.¿ balloon burst testing.The balloon must burst over the rated burst pressure specified on the label (12atm) this lot of catheters passed all quality and performance criteria without any non-conformances related to the complaint.Conclusion: based on the details of the complaint and the results of the device history records review there is no evidence that the icast covered stent was the cause of the perforation.The use of the icast covered stent has not been tested or evaluated for use in the left anterior descending (lad) artery.
