Event Description

It was reported that the patient presented for a staged percutaneous coronary intervention due to a non-st elevated myocardial infarction.The procedure was performed to treat a heavily calcified lesion in the left anterior descending coronary artery.The lesion was prepped with atherectomy and balloon angioplasty.A 2.25 x 38 mm xience sierra stent was implanted distally, and a 2.5 x 33 mm xience sierra stent was implanted proximally; however, following deployment of the 2.5 x 33 mm xience sierra stent, a perforation was noted.Unsuccessful attempts were made to seal the perforation with balloon tamponade and the patient¿s blood pressure started dropping, so a 2.8 x 19 mm graftmaster stent delivery system (sds) was attempted to be advanced, but the shaft kinked and the device was removed without issue.A second 2.8 x 19 mm graftmaster stent was advanced and successfully deployed.Pericardiocentesis was performed to treat the pericardial effusion.Following a non-abbott temporary ventricular assist device was placed and blood clots were noted in the proximal lad, in the graftmaster (due to undersizing) and likely in the proximal 2.5 x 33 mm xience sierra stent.Aspiration of the clots was successfully performed.Due to the heavy calcification, further balloon angioplasty was performed with multiple non-compliant balloon catheters at the site of the graftmaster.Post balloon angioplasty, another perforation was noted.A 4.0 x 19 mm graftmaster stent was deployed to treat this perforation; however, failed to seal the perforation.The balloon of the 4.0 x 19 mm graftmaster stent delivery system (sds) was deflated successfully, but on attempted removal with no reported resistance, it was noted that part of the balloon material had separated with the tip.Attempts to remove the tip of the sds were made with snare and forceps but this was unsuccessful.The balloon migrated to the aorta and the patient lost further pressure and arrested.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed but the patient expired.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

Exemption number e2019001-permits numbering sequence to begin with 10000, to avoid duplication of report numbers due to process transition.There may be gaps in numbering for reports submitted during the transition period.The device was not returned for evaluation.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.The reported patient effects of perforation, thrombosis, pericardial effusion, hypotension and death are listed in the xience sierra everolimus eluting coronary stent systems instructions for use as a known patient effects of coronary stenting procedures.A medical review was performed by an abbott vascular clinical specialist who concluded that the main cause of death is probably due to perforation (mainly due to the heavy calcified lesion and atherectomy device) and mi.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effects, and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
