Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a non-tortuous, moderately calcified, 80% stenosed mid left anterior descending coronary artery.A 3x23mm xience xpedition stent delivery system (sds) was being advanced when resistance with a non-abbott guiding catheter was noted.The sds was being removed when resistance with the same guiding catheter was noted, and some force was applied.The shaft of the sds separated and was removed along with the guiding catheter.The unimplanted stent was noted to have flared stent struts.Another 3x23mm xience xpedition stent was used to successfully complete the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

A visual inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported material separation and material deformation were confirmed.The reported difficult to advance and difficult to remove could not be tested due to the condition of the returned device.It should be noted that the xience xpedition, everolimus eluting coronary stent system (eecss), instructions for use (ifu), states: if unusual resistance is felt before the stent exits the guiding catheter, do not force passage.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 the reported difficulties appear to be related to the operational context of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture or labeling of the device.
