Event Description
|
It was reported that the customer experienced difficulty removing the intra-aortic balloon (iab) after a successful pci angioplasty and placing two stents.Dilatation of the entry point was required in order to get the distal tip of the iab through the femoral artery.This resulted in injury to the patient's arteriotomy site and significant bleeding.The patient was given blood products.Sheering of the device was noted.The physician was concerned that there was "metal" at the distal tip of the iab.Upon inspection, the getinge representative noticed the iab had a sheath still attached between the base of the iab membrane and the white y-fitting of the iab.The sheath was blue in color and had a side port attached to it.This sheath was not the provided getinge sheath.At the distal tip of the iab, the membrane appeared to be cut open, which was cut by the customer after removal in order to inspect it.Medwatch#: (b)(4).Iabp was placed at an outside facility.Patient was transferred to this hospital for further interventional treatment.Pci angioplasty conducted.Two stents placed successfully.Attempted to remove the balloon pump but the distal tip would not come through the femoral artery.Able to remove after dilatation of the entry point which resulted in significant bleeding.Sheering of the device noted.
