Related manufacturer report 2030404-2015-00064.During a repeat pulmonary vein isolation procedure, a pericardial effusion occurred.After all pulmonary veins were isolated using a flexibility ablation catheter, rapid pacing was performed from the coronary sinus to attempt induction of atrial fibrillation.The patient became hypotensive at this time and remained hypotensive when pacing was terminated.An echocardiogram revealed a pericardial effusion, for which a pericardiocentesis was performed to stabilize the patient.The patient was transferred to the icu for observation and has since been discharged with no further intervention.There were no performance issues with any sjm device.
