Event Description
|
It was reported that a vessel perforation occurred.A sentinel cerebral protection system (cps) was used during a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (tavr) procedure.The proximal filter was deployed in the brachiocephalic artery but it was determined that the positioning was too high in the artery.The proximal filter was recaptured and the sentinel cps was repositioned.The physician attempted to redeploy the proximal filter however, the proximal filter slider on the handle of the sentinel cps would not move.The physician was unable to redeploy the proximal filter.The decision was made to remove the sentinel cps from the patient and begin again with a new device.When removing the sentinel cps from the patient, it became stuck in the 6f radial sheath and a perforation of the radial artery occurred.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr:visual inspection of the returned device revealed an unknown introducer sheath was attached to the device, the distal filter slider (#3) was bent and the outer shaft/sheath was twisted.The distal filter was sheathed but the condition of the proximal filter could not be confirmed due to the introducer sheath.Microscopic inspection confirmed that the outer shaft/sheath was twisted.The introducer sheath was removed.Functional testing revealed that before flushing the proximal filter was unable to be unsheathed but after flushing the proximal filter was able to be unsheathed.The distal part of the outer shaft/sheath was dissected.Following dissection, wear was found on the forcing braid of the internal part of the outer shaft/sheath (inner shaft/sheath).
