Abstract
© 2019 Elsevier Inc. Background/purpose: We aimed to assess the reported complications and event modes for the GuideLiner and Guidezilla extension catheters. Methods/materials: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE)database was queried for reported events. Results: Of the 65 cases with reported GuideLiner-related issues, 15 (23%)involved the inability to pass equipment through or damage to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)devices in the GuideLiner catheter, 38 (58%)involved GuideLiner catheter fracture, 9 (14%)involved coronary artery dissection, 2 (3%)involved coronary artery perforation, and 1 (1.5%)involved thrombus formation in the catheter. Of the 408 cases with reported Guidezilla-related issues, 53 (13%)involved inability to pass or damaged PCI devices into the Guidezilla catheter, 117 (29%)involved inability to advance the Guidezilla catheter to the target lesion, 59 (14%)involved kinked Guidezilla catheter, mostly because of partial or complete catheter fracture upon further investigation, 164 (40%)involved a broken Guidezilla catheter, 10 (2.5%)involved coronary artery dissection, 2 (0.5%)involved coronary artery perforation, 1 (0.2%)involved aortic dissection, 1 (0.2%)involved thrombosis formation, and 1 (0.2%)involved no-reflow phenomenon. Conclusions: Findings from the MAUDE database highlight the complications and modes of events associated with the use of GuideLiner and Guidezilla extension catheters. To assess the reported complications and event modes for the GuideLiner and Guidezilla extension catheters, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE)database was queried. There were more reports on Guidezilla-related events during the search period. The events for both extension catheters mainly involved the inability to pass equipment through or damage to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)devices in the extension catheter, extension catheter fracture, coronary artery dissection and perforation and, occasionally, the death of the patients.
