The doctor attempted to insert the sheath for an iab and was unable to achieve access as the sheath was bent.They retrieved another sheath but were still unable to complete insertion.At some point, the patient developed a hematoma at the entree site.According to the scrub tech the hematoma was not due to the difficulties with the sheath but rather due to the patient's very tortuous anatomy.Being unable to insert the second sheath, they opted not to use the iab at all.
