Event Description
|
During a myocardial ablation to treat atrial fibrillation in the left atrium a intellamap orion high resolution mapping catheter was selected for use.The case started by connecting a pressure bag containing saline solution to the catheter, but the handle part was found to be wet.Therefore, the connection with the catheter was checked, and the reflux was resumed, then ecg st elevation occurred during the case, and tamponade was suspected.There was a possibility of air embolism due to a seizure and ventricular fibrillation.When the system was checked, the catheter pressure bag saline solution was empty.The saline solution in the pressure bag did not bleed, so it is suspected that the air in the saline solution was mixed.The procedure was reschedule/ cancelled.It was further reported that no cardiac tamponade occurred.Furthermore, there was no malfunction against the catheter.The patient is receiving treatment for cerebral infarction.The patient is recovering and has moved to the general ward.
