It was reported that a patient underwent an atrial tachycardia (at) ablation procedure with an unknown octaray catheter and experienced a vessel perforation which required a surgical intervention and a prolonged hospitalization.It was reported that a patient from the previous week had presented in accident & emergency (a&e) yesterday with complication of an ischemic leg from the access site.Angiography was performed and showed a flap at the common artery, upwards going into the iliac.The procedure was an atrial tachy and arterial access was gained with ultra sound and 8f short sheath, an octaray introduced with no complications or difficulty to map the aortic root.An angio seal was placed to close and no bleeding at the site post procedure.The physician¿s opinion on the cause of this adverse event was that it was probably procedure related as the octaray was passed up the femoral artery to map ao root.The patient fully recovered (no residual effects).The patient required extended hospitalization because of the adverse event as the patient was admitted on the (b)(6) 2023 and discharged (b)(6).The patient needed vascular surgery to correct iliac dissection flap.Relevant tests/laboratory data-ct groin, flap found 6cm, right iliac artery extending to the common femoral artery terminal at the bifurcation.Other relevant history: prev cti ablation 2018, previous cryo redo 2021.A non-bwi sheath was used.This event will be conservatively reported as the octaray cannot be dissociated as a contributor to the adverse event because according to the physician¿s opinion, it was probably procedure related and then mentioned the octaray passed through.

Manufacturer Narrative

During an internal review of the reported event on 31-may-2023, it has been determined that the femoral artery injury (vessel perforation) is associated with a sheath due to risk of the sheath having direct contact with the vasculature tissue during femoral vein/artery access.The sheath provides catheters path guidance and a barrier preventing direct contact with the artery/vein or other vascular tissue.The reporter has stated the sheath is not a bwi product.Therefore, the octaray is considered a concomitant product as it was utilized prior to discovery of the injury.As such, the h 6.Medical device problem code has been updated.This event will no longer be considered mdr reportable against any biosense webster inc.Devices.If additional information is received regarding this event, a supplemental 3500a report will be submitted to the fda.Manufacturer's ref.# (b)(4).
