Event Description
|
The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure to treat a stroke in the left m1.Access was obtained through the right radial artery into the left cervical carotid using a 8f ballast long sheath.A combination of aristotle guidewire, zoom 35 and zoom 71 was advanced to the clot.The first attempt was unsuccessful, the aristotle 24 wire was advanced further to catheterize the m1.While advancing the aristotle 24 wire, it appeared that the wire was traveling outside the previous path of the vessel.A contrast injection confirmed that the vessel had a small dissection.The dissection was observed at left mid m1.At this time, the 8f ballast was parked at the distal left cervical carotid, zoom 71 and zoom 35 catheters were parked at proximal m1.The physician then treated the extravasation with a stent.Post extravasation treatment, the physician used the same zoom 71 and zoom 35 combination for an additional 2 passes and was able to achieve reperfusion with a tici score of 2b.The patient was reported to be stable post procedure.Physician stated that it was inconclusive what device contributed to the dissection, but likely the guidewire was most involved.Both zoom 71 and zoom 35 were used to remove the clot and no further trauma to the vessel was observed.
