Event Description
|
It was reported that during the implant procedure, the patient's coronary sinus was minorly dissected while utilizing the balloon ca theter.It was noted the balloon catheter was unable to deflate after performing the venogram, so the physician attempted to deflate the balloon by creating negative pressure with the syringe but the balloon would not deflate.The physician then pulled the inflated balloon with the coronary sinus catheter and the coronary sinus was minorly dissected.The balloon catheter was removed from the patient.No further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
