During a literature search, atricure determined a patient experienced an adverse event prior to 2019 which may have been caused or contributed to by the csk-6130 cannula.In a 2019 published case study within "the journal of the college of physicians and surgeons-pakistan", literature reports a patient presented to surgical assessment unit with symptoms of worsening abdominal pain and vomiting.The patient underwent a convergent procedure via transdiaphragmatic approach at another hospital three years earlier.Ct scan of abdomen and pelvis revealed herniation of small bowel into the lower mediastinum, causing proximal small bowel obstruction.The diaphragmatic defect was closed primarily by suturing.The patient was discharged to home with follow-up in outpatient clinic.There was no reported device malfunction and the adverse event was the result of a procedural complication.Sub-xiphoid access is the preferred approach for the convergent procedure.Source: fahim m, campbell-smith t.Strangulated intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia after hybrid maze procedure.J coll physicians surg pak.2019 dec;29(12):s95-s97.Doi: 10.29271/jcpsp.2019.12.S95.Pmid: 31779754.
