Event or Problem Description
|
|
Patient id: (b)(6).It was reported that on (b)(6) 2018, a 3.0x18mm (1125300-18, 8021261) xience alpine stent was implanted in the mid left anterior descending (lad) coronary artery lesion.Stent malposition and a proximal edge dissection was observed.Additional post-dilatation was performed as treatment.Reportedly, following the additional post-dilatation (using the maximum balloon size and maximum pressure), there remained sub-optimal, distal stent expansion.No additional treatment was provided.On (b)(6) 2019, the patient was hospitalized for increasing dyspnea, chest tightness/pain, and fatigue.Another cardiac catheterization was performed and lad in-stent restenosis was observed along with severe three vessel disease.On (b)(6) 2019, a coronary artery bypass surgery was performed as treatment.No additional information was provided regarding this issue.

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 was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported patient-device incompatibility/difficult to deploy (wall apposition); however, the subsequent treatments appear to be related to the operational context of the procedure.It should be noted that the reported patient effects of angina, dyspnea, fatigue, intimal dissection and stenosis are listed in the xience alpine, everolimus eluting coronary stent system instructions for use (ifu) as known patient effects of coronary stenting procedures.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effect(s), and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture or labeling of the device.
