Event Description

It was reported a patient underwent an atrial fibrillation cardiac ablation procedure which included the use of a thermocool® smart touch® sf bi-directional navigation catheter and an octaray mapping catheter.The patient experienced cardiac tamponade treated with a pericardiocentesis and surgery with prolonged hospitalization.During an atrial fibrillation ablation procedure, the patient was on the table under general anesthesia, physician scrubbed in, and diagnostic, ultrasound and therapeutic catheters were inserted into the patient¿s heart.An intracardiac echocardiography (ice) guided ablation of the cavo tricuspid isthmus with the thermocool smarttouch df ablation catheter was completed on the right side of the heart, during which no steam pops, no high impedance or high force outside of normal range was observed.A power of 35 w was used with a temp cut-off of at 40 degrees and impedance cut-off of at 250 ohms.Transeptal access was then completed under ice guidance with the 8fr soundstar catheter.At this point, it was confirmed on the ice image that there was no pre-existing effusion present.The thermocool smarttouch ablation and the octaray mapping catheters were then advanced into the left atrium where a left atrial map was completed using the octaray catheter.Prior to ablation on the ridge of the left atrium, the ice image was re-positioned to visualize this anatomical area, at which point a large pericardial effusion was observed.The physician then performed a pericardial tap to drain the blood, throughout which monitoring the effusion live on ice.The effusion resolved and the patient¿s blood pressure stabilized.The pulmonary vein isolation was aborted to allow the patient to recover and continue to be monitored.The physician indicated they did not believe the effusion occurred as a result of use with a biosense webster product.Additional information was received.It was reported that the patient required cardiac surgery to suture a small hole in the left atrial appendage.Patient has fully recovered but required extended hospitalization (stayed for monitoring post suture repair).Ablation was performed to the right atrium only prior to transseptral access.The event occurred during transseptal / left atrium (la) mapping phase.No error messages observed on biosense webster equipment during the procedure.
