It was reported a patient underwent an atrial fibrillation (afib) cardiac ablation procedure which included a pentaray nav high-density mapping eco catheter and a qdot micro¿ catheter and the patient experienced cardiac arrest which required prolonged hospitalization.It was reported that the patient has a sick heart due to heart failure and previous myocardial infarction.They mapped the left atrium during afib using a pentaray and mapped a bit from the qdot catheter as well.The patient¿s blood pressure went down after finishing almost the whole map and they cardioverted the patient.There was low blood pressure still and kept decreasing.The patient went into cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) was performed.The patient ¿got fast sr¿ and was stable.The patient had a stable rhythm but was kept sedated after.The procedure was canceled, and no ablation was performed.The physician¿s opinion on the cause of the adverse event was that it was patient condition related.The patient required prolonged hospitalization as the patient was still sedated and was waiting for magnetic resonance imaging (mri) to check brain injuries.The most suspected device is the pentaray mapping catheter as the event occurred during mapping.However, as a conservative measure, the qdot is being captured as the reported event indicated that the mapping was done from the qdot catheter as well.
