Event Description
|
It was reported that the infusion line burst.A 2.4mm jetstream xc atherectomy catheter was selected for use in a procedure in the right superficial femoral artery (sfa).Vascular access was obtained via the left femoral artery up and over the bifurcation to treat the right leg using a non-bsc introducer sheath.A non-bsc filterwire was placed in the profunda and a thruway guidewire into the sfa.The jetstream was then used over the thruway wire to treat the lesion.The lesion was successfully treated, and the device was removed from the patient.Upon removal, the physician noticed that the infusion line of the catheter had ruptured approximately 25cm from the distal tip.Aspiration and infusion had not been lost during the procedure.The physician attributed the ruptured infusion line to the filterwire being used in a narrow anatomical space.Another device, same model, was then selected to finish the procedure.The patient experienced no adverse effects and is doing well.
