Event Description
|
It was reported that the intra aortic balloon catheter (iabc) was inserted on (b)(6) 2019 for cardiosave intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) therapy.The intra-aortic balloon catheter (iabc) ruptured on (b)(6) 2019, the fifth day of use.There is a possibility that blood was drawn to the iabp side.In order to replace the iabc, an attempt was made to pull out the ruptured iabc but it was difficult to pull it out, and the iabc was cut and collected.It was reported that a thrombus was attached to the iabc, and the thrombus is also confirmed in the patient's blood vessel, so the thrombus removal catheter was used to remove the thrombus.After thrombus removal was complete, an alternate iabc was inserted and use was resumed.There was no reported malfunction of the iabp, and the relationship of the event to both the device and the iabp therapy are unknown.Refer to mfg report number 2248146-2019-00604 for information on the involved iabc.
