Event Description

It was reported that a patient underwent an atrial fibrillation (afib) - paroxysmal ablation procedure with an optrell mapping catheter.The optrell was used successfully in the left atrium through an 8.5 guiding sheath without issue.The short sheath was only used toward the end of the case, when the physician inserted the optrell into the right atrium to confirm isthmus conduction block.While using the optrell catheter directly through a short, pinnacle 9 fr.Femoral access sheath, the catheter was not able to be removed from the sheath, as the sheath tip buckled and became damaged.The catheter could not be withdrawn completely, so the sheath and catheter had to be removed simultaneously, with the splines unguarded through the femoral access site.The medical team was able to remove the catheter.There was no optrell catheter damage.No patient consequences were reported.
