Model Number 60SF3

Device Problem Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem (2993)

Patient Problem Arrhythmia (1721)

Event Date 11/06/2023

Event Type  Injury  

Event Description

The patient had a concomitant surgical procedure of mitral valve repair and tricuspid valve repair through sternotomy.During the same procedure a cryoflex probe powered by a cryoconsole, and a cardioblate lp clamp powered by a cardioblate generator were used.The left atrial appendage was amputated/excised and oversewn.The left pulmonary vein (lpv) and right pulmonary vein (rpv) conduction blocks were not performed.The surgeon attempted to preform conduction block testing but was not able to do so as the patient was still in atrial fibrillation.The patient experienced new junctional rhythm after index procedure.The adverse event was deemed by the site as unlikely related to the cardioblate lp clamp and the study devices and possibly related to the cryoflex probe, the study procedure and the concomitant procedure.The rationale for possibly relating the adverse event to the concomitant procedure was due to the myocardial edema from lesions and due to myocardial edema from annular sutures.The rationale for unlikely relating the adverse event to the study device was due to myocardial edema from freeze lesion.The adverse event was deemed by the sponsor as related to the cryoflex probe, the cardioblate lp clamp, the concomitant procedure and the study procedure and not related to the cryoconsole.The outcome status of the patient is recovering/resolving.
