Event Description
|
A resolute onyx rx coronary, drug eluting stent was used to treat a moderately calcified and tortuous lesion exhibiting 90% stenosis in the mid left anterior descending (lad) artery.The device was inspected with no issues noted.Negative prep was performed.The lesion was not pre dilated.The device did not pass through a previously deployed stent.Resistance was encountered.Excessive force was used.A launcher guide catheter was used to try and deliver the stent but was not giving adequate support so a telescope guide extension catheter was also used.It was reported that while trying to withdraw the stent from the vessel, a lot of resistance was encountered trying to remove the stent and the guide got pulled into the lad and possibly caught on the stent edge.The resolute onyx dislodged in the ascending aorta.An attempt was made to snare the stent with a 1.5 mm x 10 mm euphora sc which was unsuccessful, and the undeployed stent embolized to a distal vessel in the shoulder area where it was left in the vessel.There is no allegation against either the telescope or launcher device.The patient is alive with no injury.
