It was reported that the sheath included in the rosch-uchida transjugular liver access set was difficult to place during a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (tips) procedure.Upon withdraw of the device, the shaft of the flexor sheath separated from the check flo valve.The device did not unravel.There was no damage to patient anatomy, but the skin at the access site was "slightly damaged" due to repeated manipulation.A new same device was used to complete the procedure.The patient did not experience any adverse effects or additional procedures due to this occurrence.
