Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported that on (b)(6) 2019 the 4.0x18 mm xience sierra stent was implanted in the mildly tortuous left circumflex coronary artery without incident.The stent was well apposed and intact, but optical coherence tomography was not performed.The patient was discharged from the hospital and was compliant with the dual anti-platelet therapy.On (b)(6) 2020 the patient had chest pain and was re-admitted to the hospital.Angiogram found in-stent thrombus in the 4.0x18 xience sierra.The physician reported that the thrombus was likely caused by the xience sierra stent having a stent fracture, but a fracture was not visualized.There was also a hematoma in the vessel.The patient did not have a myocardial infarction.A second 4.0x18 mm xience sierra was implanted inside the first sierra.The patient was discharged from the hospital.No additional information was provided.
