  • InjurySep 21, 2026Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem

    It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a de novo lesion in the tibioperoneal trunk (TPT) with 80% stenosis and heavy calcification, and popliteal and also a small area in the superficial femoral artery (SFA). Two (2) 3.0x38mm Esprit BTK stent were implanted to treat the TPT and intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) 3.0x 80 was used to treat the popliteal and the superficial femoral artery (SFA). A few hours later, the patient lost pulse. Re-angiography was performed and the popliteal and TPT scaffolds were clotted off. A non-Abbott thrombectomy balloon system was used to get the popliteal and scaffold open. Additionally, medication (tissue plasminogen activator) was administered. A dissection in the popliteal was observed which was treated with a non-Abbott covered stent. In the physician's opinion, the 2 Esprit BTK stents did not cause or contribute to the dissection. Post-dilatation was performed with a non-Abbott 3.0x120mm balloon. Result was decent. No additional information was provided.
