Additional Manufacturer Narrative

As the stent remains implanted in the patient and there was no device malfunction reported, the delivery system was not requested for return.Ischemia is captured in the risk assessment as a known potential harm.Ischemia is labeled in the cobra pzf¿ css (us commercial) instructions for use as a known potential adverse event.The investigation is not yet complete.A follow-up report with additional relevant information will be submitted.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
A (b)(6) male patient with a medical history of coronary artery disease (cad) and hypertension presented on (b)(6) 2019 for planned percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) for treatment of a heavily calcified lesion in the moderately tortuous left circumflex (lcx) coronary artery.Access was gained via right radial approach.The physician had difficulty engaging the left coronary artery to perform the angioplasty, due to the moderate vessel tortuosity, but pre-dilation was ultimately performed.A 3.5 x 18mm cobra pzf¿ nanocoated coronary stent system was advanced to the mid/distal portion of the lcx and the stent was deployed just beyond the heavily calcified portion of the vessel.Several inflations were performed then the balloon catheter was withdrawn.Upon withdrawal of the cobra delivery system, timi 0 flow was noted.A 3.5 x 12mm balloon catheter was advanced to inflate the lesion just proximal to the implanted cobra stent.After the vessel regained timi 3 flow, the physician elected to use a 4.00 x 24mm cobra pzf¿ stent system for the proximal/mid portion of the lcx to treat the remaining uncovered portion of the heavily calcified lesion.The 4.00 x 24mm cobra pzf¿ stent system was advanced proximal to the lesion.Using force, the stent did not cross the lesion and the stent catheter was withdrawn over the guide wire.The undeployed stent was re-prepped with no visible issues at that time.The same cobra stent was inserted a 2nd time with help of the guideliner but was still unable to cross the lesion.The cobra stent system was withdrawn; a stent strut was visibly flared.The physician removed the guideliner, wire, and guide catheter and switched to an ebu 4.0 guide catheter.After pre-dilation a 4.00 x 24mm cobra pzf¿ stent was easily advanced and implanted at the lesion with a wonderful result and no complication.There were no reported adverse patient sequelae.Additional information has been requested.

Event or Problem Description

A 69-year-old male patient with a medical history of coronary artery disease (cad) and hypertension presented on 22-aug-2019 for planned percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) for treatment of a heavily calcified lesion in the moderately tortuous left circumflex (lcx) coronary artery.Access was gained via right radial approach.The physician had difficulty engaging the left coronary artery to perform the angioplasty, due to the moderate vessel tortuosity, but pre-dilation was ultimately performed.A 3.5 x 18mm cobra pzf¿ nanocoated coronary stent system was advanced to the mid/distal portion of the lcx and the stent was deployed just beyond the heavily calcified portion of the vessel.Several inflations were performed then the balloon catheter was withdrawn.Upon withdrawal of the cobra delivery system, timi 0 flow was noted; the physician suspects cause of timi 0 flow was vasospasm.A 3.5 x 12mm balloon catheter was advanced to inflate the lesion just proximal to the implanted cobra stent.After the vessel regained timi 3 flow, the physician elected to use a 4.00 x 24mm cobra pzf¿ stent system for the proximal/mid portion of the lcx to treat the remaining uncovered portion of the heavily calcified lesion.The 4.00 x 24mm cobra pzf¿ stent system was advanced proximal to the lesion.Using force, the stent did not cross the lesion due to the prior vasospasm; the stent catheter was withdrawn over the guide wire without difficulty.The undeployed stent was re-prepped with no visible issues at that time.The same cobra stent was inserted a 2nd time with help of the guideliner but was still unable to cross the lesion.The cobra stent system was withdrawn; a stent strut was visibly flared.The physician removed the guideliner, wire, and guide catheter and switched to an ebu 4.0 guide catheter.After pre-dilation a 4.00 x 24mm cobra pzf¿ stent was easily advanced and implanted at the lesion with a wonderful result and no complication.There were no reported adverse patient sequelae.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H2 additional information: -b5 revised -e1, e2, and e3 revised - h6 coding revised as the stent remains implanted in the patient and there was no device malfunction reported, the delivery system was not requested for return.Vasoconstriction is captured in the risk assessment as a known potential harm.Vasoconstriction is labeled in the cobra pzf¿ css (us commercial) instructions for use as a known potential adverse event.The investigation determined that a definitive conclusive cause is not able to be assigned to the reported no flow due to suspected vasoconstriction.Causes of vasoconstriction can be multi-factorial and may include abrading of vessel by stent system or other device(s), and / or expansion of vessel area outside of target lesion during stent deployment or balloon dilatation.Based on the information reviewed, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling; there is no evidence of a device deficiency.
