    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE ACTUAL DEVICE USED DURING THE CASE WAS NOT RETURNED FOR EVAL. THEREFORE, AN ENGINEERING ANALYSIS OF THE SUBJECT DEVICE CANNOT BE PERFORMED. THE LOT NUMBER FOR THE DEVICE IS KNOWN AND A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD DID NOT DETECT ANY DEFICIENCIES IN THE MFG PROCESS. AN UNSTABLE PT WITH KNOWN COMPLEX CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE PRESENTED WITH UNSTABLE ANGINA AND RENAL FAILURE REQUIRING DIALYSIS. THE PT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN TURNED DOWN FOR ANGIOPLASTY AS BEING TOO HIGH RISK. IT WAS DECIDED ON THIS OCCASION TO OFFER HIGH RISK INTERVENTION TO FACILITATE RENAL DIALYSIS. UNFORTUNATELY THE PROCEDURE WAS FOLLOWED WITH A DETERIORATING COURSE THAT CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO RENAL FAILURE, SEVERE CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE, HYPOTENSION, AND HEART FAILURE. THE PRESENCE OF MICRO INFARCTION IS CONSISTENT WITH THE MYOCARDIAL ENZYME RISES SEEN IN THESE COMPLEX PTS AND IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE POLYMERIC COAT OF THE DRUG ELUTING STENTS USED BUT MIGHT IN PART HAVE BEEN CONTRIBUTED TO BY THE EMBOLIZATION OF MATERIAL FROM THE HYDROPHILIC COATING OF THE GUIDE WIRES, ALTHOUGH IT IS MOST UNLIKELY THAT THIS HYDROPHILIC COATING MATERIAL IS SUFFICIENT TO LEAD TO DEATH.

LESION MORPHOLOGY WAS REPORTED AS SMALL CALCIFIED DIFFUSELY DISEASED CORONARY ARTERIES WITH SIGNIFICANT STENOSIS OF THE LEFT MAIN, PROXIMAL CX AND LAD AND ORIGIN DIAGONAL. THE LAD AND DIAGONAL WERE PRE-DILATATED, FOLLOWED BY THE IMPLANTATION OF 3 STENTS. THERE WERE NO REPORTED ISSUES ENCOUNTERED WITH USE OF THE MEDTRONIC DEVICES DURING THE INDEX PROCEDURE. THE PT IS REPORTED TO HAVE TOLERATED THE INDEX PROCEDURE REASONABLY WELL AND THERE WAS A GOOD ANGIOGRAPHIC RESULT. THE PT'S CONDITION DETERIORATED AFTER PCI AND WAS TRANSFERRED TO CORONARY CRITICAL CARE. THE POST OPERATIVE COURSE REPORTED EPISODES OF CHEST PAIN AND TROPONIN RISE. RE-ASSESSMENT OF THE CORONARY STENTS WAS COMPLETED 6 DAYS POST THE INDEX PROCEDURE. IT IS REPORTED THAT THE PT HAD AN EMERGENCY RE-CATHETERIZATION. THE PREVIOUSLY IMPLANTED STENTS WERE FOUND TO BE OPEN WITH NO EVIDENCE OF THROMBUS AND THE MAIN ARTERIES WERE OPEN BUT NO FILLING OF THE SMALL SIDE BRANCHES WERE OBSERVED. IN AN ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE EVEN BETTER ANGIOGRAPHIC RESULT, THE FOLLOWING DEVICES WERE USED DURING THE REVASCULARIZATION PROCEDURE, WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT IN THE PT'S CONDITION: 6F INPUT INTRODUCER KIT (REF MFR REPORT# 1220452-2010-00040); ZINGER LIGHT GUIDEWIRE (REF MFR REPORT# 1220452-2010-00039); 6F EBU 3.75 GUIDE CATHETER (MFR REPORT# 1220452-2010-00037); 2.50MM X 20MM SPRINTER LEGEND RX BALLOON DILATATION CATHETER (MFR REPORT# 2953200-2010-01088); 4.00MM X 20MM SPRINTER LEGEND RX BALLOON DILATATION CATHETER (MFR REPORT# 2953200-2010-01089); 2.00MM X 20MM SPRINTER LEGEND RX BALLOON DILATATION CATHETER (MFR REPORT# 2953200-2010-01090); 2.50MM X 9MM NC SPRINTER BALLOON DILATATION CATHETER (MFR REPORT# 2953200-2010-01093); 2.25MM X 12MM ENDEAVOR RESOLUTE DRUG-ELUTING STENT (MFR REPORT# 2953200-2010-01091); MICRO-DRIVER BARE METAL STENT (MFR REPORT# 2953200-2010-01092).THERE WERE NO REPORTED ISSUES ENCOUNTERED WITH USE OF THE MEDTRONIC DEVICES DURING THIS INTERVENTION. IT IS REPORTED THAT THE PT DIED LATER THAT DAY. AN AUTOPSY WAS PERFORMED WHICH SHOWED EXTENSIVE MYOCARDIAL DAMAGE.
