Event Description
|
It was reported that during the intra-aortic balloon (iab) insertion process, the dilator snapped at the distal end as the customer pulled it out of the sheath.A majority of the dilator was left inside the sheath, inside the patient's right femoral artery, with no easy way of removal as it was entirely in the femoral sheath.The operator was able to remove the dilator and the sheath together after wiring the dilator to ensure it did not remain in the femoral artery by itself as the sheath was pulled out.The patient's cardiothoracic surgery was delayed by one day because of the extra time the procedure took but there was no ill effect as far as we are aware.A new iab was inserted via the left femoral artery.
