Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a totally occluded lesion in the non-calcified, non-tortuous right distal superficial femoral artery and popliteal artery.4x38mm xience prime below the knee (btk) stent delivery system (sds) faced resistance during advancement with an unspecified previously implanted stent.During removal, resistance was felt with the previously implanted stent, but force was not applied.The btk stent dislodged, and the shaft separated.The dislodged stent was embedded into the vessel using an unspecified stent.There was a clinically significant delay in the procedure.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 returned for analysis.The reported material separation was confirmed.The reported failure to advance, difficulty to remove, and stent dislodgement could not be confirmed as the distal portion of the device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no similar incidents from this lot.The investigation determined the reported difficulties and treatment appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure as it is likely the device interacted with the previously deployed stent causing the reported failure to advance.During removal resistance was felt with the previously implanted stent causing the reported difficulty to remove.The continued handling and/or manipulation of the device likely caused the stent dislodgement and material separation with the patient effect of device embedded.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
