Information was received from the healthcare professional via the manufacturer representative reporting at the end of the trial surgical procedure for lead placement, the surgeon wanted to connect the lead to the extension but the lead sheath became detached from the conductor cable.The surgical procedure lasted longer than usual because the patient bled a lot, which was probably caused by a small arteriole severed.To stop the bleeding the surgeon had to remove the first anchor that was placed around the lead, compressed the incision with gauze pads, and demanded the anesthetist to reduce the patient¿s blood pressure.The diagnostics/troubleshooting was performed, impedances were measured and were normal.The cause of the sheath becoming detached was unknown.The lead would have been replaced if the trial was successful, but the trial was not successful.The event resolved.The lead was explanted.The event resolved.
