Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a de novo lesion in the heavily tortuous, mildly calcified, 90% stenosed distal left anterior descending coronary artery.A bmw universal guide wire crossed the lesion and a non-abbott balloon was used for pre-dilatation.A 3.5x33mm xience xpedition stent delivery system (sds) failed to cross due to the anatomy and faced resistance with the anatomy during removal.Force was applied to removed the sds, and the shaft was noted to be kinked.A same size 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.

Manufacturer Narrative

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 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 did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.It was reported that resistance was felt and force was applied during removal.It should be noted that the xience xpedition, everolimus eluting coronary stent system (eecss), instructions for use (ifu) states: applying excessive force to the delivery system can potentially result in loss or damage to the stent and/or delivery system components.It is unknown if the ifu deviation contributed to the reported event.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.
