Event Description

It was reported that a swan ganz balloon dislodged from the catheter during a procedure in the cath lab.The patient was admitted and being catheterized for further diagnosis and treatment of chronic systolic heart failure.Upon first pass into the heart, the balloon was inflated and wedged.The balloon was visible under fluoroscopy.The catheter was then removed and reinserted for a second pass.Upon attempting to inflate and wedge, no balloon was visible under fluoroscopy after second insertion.The catheter was removed and there was no visible balloon.Per hospital report, there were no visible evidence of foreign material in patient vasculature at any point during the procedure, which lead the staff to believe the piece of balloon was caught in the sheath.The patient did not have any adverse event or injury related to the procedure and remained hospitalized for further care as the patient required a pacemaker.The sales rep was able to observe the swan and it appeared as if the balloon was completely sheared off.There were no fragments remaining on the catheter.Information of the introducer brand or size was unknown.
