Event Description
|
The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure in the posterior cerebral artery (pca) using a penumbra system jet 7 reperfusion catheter (jet7), a penumbra system ace 68 reperfusion catheter (ace68), a non-penumbra microcatheter, a non-penumbra sheath and a rotating hemostasis valve (rhv).During the procedure, the physician made a pass using the jet7 and ace68.Upon removal of the jet7 and ace68, the devices became stretched while passing through the rhv.Therefore, the jet7 and ace68 were no longer used in the procedure.A second jet7 was successfully used to make another pass.While retracting the jet7 out of the same rhv, the same issue occurred.It was reported that the rhv was too small; therefore, the rhv and jet7 were no longer used in the procedure.Next, a third jet7 was used with the same microcatheter and a new rhv to successfully complete another pass.Upon removal of the jet7 from the rhv, after successful completion of the procedure, the jet7 stretched and the coil wind came apart.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
