As reported, during an unknown procedure, an unspecified 0.018-inch wire perforated a cxi support catheter.The catheter was advanced through an unknown 4-french sheath.An ipsilateral approach was used, and the anatomy was very tortuous.At the beginning of the procedure, before crossing the stenosed area, the wire perforated the catheter on advancement, exiting the top ("anterior tip") of the catheter rather than the exit hole at the catheter tip.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.
