Event Description
|
It was reported that obsidio embolized.The target location was in the gastroduodenal artery (gda).The vessel size was 1 - 3mm.Obsidio was selected for use.After creating casting of the obsidio, the fellow was instructed by the physician to administer a large bolus of saline and obsidio material through aliquot technique.The reason for the use of the aliquot method was to re-use the microcatheter.The aliquot method resulted in a total of.6 ml of obsidio being used and the catheter, in use, being placed too close to the obsidio casting.The obsidio from the second bolus/aliquot, moved towards the branch point of the right hepatic artery.The flow of the vessel and injection of contrast during a hand injection run took the obsidio even more distal.The obsidio shut down the right hepatic artery supply.Action was taken to break up the obsidio into pieces using a microcatheter.Smaller pieces of obsidio traveled distally to the pancreas.Minor flow was achieved but not entirely.Imaging, post procedure, revealed the patient had pancreas flow shut down resulting into other complications like pancreas infarct.
