Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.

• MalfunctionSep 25, 2026Fracture

  It was reported that the microcatheter (Subject device) was used in the treatment of opthalmic artery aneurysm procedure. After the stent was advanced to the midsection of the subject microcatheter, resistance was encountered. The physician then increased the pushing force resulting in fracture to the hub of the subject device. The subject device was then withdrawn and replaced, and the procedure was reported to be completed successfully without any clinical consequence to the patient. However, when the subject device was returned for analysis the shaft of the subject device was observed to be kinked/bent, flat/crushed and had friction at the damaged sections. Also, the shaft of the subject device was noted to be broken/fractured.

AFTER THE PROCEDURE, THE DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING AND MRI (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING) SHOWED TWO ACUTE LACUNAR INFARCTION FOCI IN THE LEFT SUBCORTEX SENILE CEREBRAL CHANGES LEFT MAXILLARY SINUSITIS: MILD RIGHT MASTOID INFLAMMATION POSTOPERATIVE CHANGES OF THE LEFT OCULAR LENS. THE EVENT WAS CONSIDERED AS AN ISCHEMIC STROKE LOCATED AT IPSILATERAL AND IT WAS TREATED WITH MEDICATION. ONE DAY POST PROCEDURE ON (B)(6) 2025, THE PATIENT DEVELOPED BINOCULAR DIPLOPIA AS IT WAS RESOLVED ON (B)(6) 2025. THE PATIENT RECEIVED INTRAVENOUS INFUSION OF HUMAN ALBUMIN FOR VOLUME EXPANSION. LATER, A NEW LACUNAR CEREBRAL INFARCTION WAS DETECTED BY MRI, AND EDARAVONE DEXBORNEOL WAS ADMINISTERED TO SCAVENGE FREE RADICALS. IN PHYSICIAN¿S OPINION, THE CAUSE OF THE STROKE AND BINOCULAR DIPLOPIA AS THE STENT IMPLANTATION COVERS THE OPHTHALMIC ARTERY, CAUSING A THROMBOGENIC REACTION THAT AFFECTS THE BLOOD SUPPLY OF THE CENTRAL RETINAL ARTERY AND PROBABLY ALSO RELATED TO THE CATHETER (SUBJECT DEVICE). CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO IMPAIRMENT IN DAIL
