Though requested, both stent and delivery system were discarded.A review of the lot history record (lhr) was performed.There were no non-conformances.The lot conforms to its predetermined specifications and requirements, including for crossing profile and stent retention.Inability to cross, stent damage, and stent dislodgement are captured in the risk assessment as known potential hazards.The investigation determined that a definitive conclusive cause is not able to be assigned to the reported complaint.The most probable cause(s) of inability to cross, stent damage, and subsequent stent dislodgement are most likely related to severe lesion calcification, vessel tortuosity and / or possible interaction with the guide catheter and / or hemostatic valve during advancement.Based on the information reviewed, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling; there is no evidence of a device deficiency.

Event or Problem Description

On (b)(6) 2020, the patient presented for percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) for treatment of a heavily calcified lesion in the moderately tortuous mid left circumflex (lcx) coronary artery.Access was gained via right radial artery, then pre-dilation was performed using a 2.5x20mm balloon.A 3.5x24mm cobra pzf¿ nanocoated coronary stent system was then advanced over a runthrough guide wire; the cobra was unable to cross due to lesion calcification.During the crossing attempt, the stent became damaged (deformed) and dislodged in the lcx prior to reaching target.The guide wire then cobra stent system were each withdrawn (respectively).Attempts were made to snare the stent using small balloons and a 4mm gooseneck snare device, but snaring attempts were unsuccessful.A small balloon was advanced through the stent then slightly inflated to prevent further stent migration; the stent was unable to be pulled back through the introducer sheath, at the radial location, using the small balloon, thus, the physician decided to deploy the stent in the right radial artery with plan to refer patient to surgery after stenting procedure.Additional pre-dilatation then was performed in the lcx using a 3.5x20mm balloon, followed by deployment of a 3.5x23mm bare metal stent (bms), then a 4.0x12mm bms, both in the mid lcx.Post-dilatation was then performed using stent delivery balloon.The procedure was concluded without reported adverse patient sequelae patient was referred for surgical removal of the stent from the right radial artery.The stent in radial artery was then retrieved via simple 5-minute surgical procedure with no adverse patient seqeulae.
