G9: 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.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents.The investigation determined that the reported difficulties and additional treatment appear to be due to case circumstances.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.H6: codes 2889, 1528, and 1562 were removed.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
Subsequent to the initially filed report, the following information was received: it was reported that the 9x60mm absolute pro self-expanding stent system (sess) was advanced without resistance, and the stent was implanted.The sess was removed without resistance.Due to the vessel tortuosity, the stent was kinked, which did not allow an unspecified balloon to cross.The unspecified guide wire already in the patient anatomy was passed through one of the stent struts, and the same balloon was used to dilate the stent through one of the stent struts.The stent did not break or separate, and an unspecified stent was placed in the previously deployed stent.No additional information was provided.
