Event Description
|
It was reported that during a pta procedure on a (b)(6) year old male patient, they were unable to remove the approach cto microwire wire guide from another manufacturer's catheter.The patient's anatomy was very calcified and the approach cto microwire wire guide was inserted with some friction initially.When they attempted to remove the wire, it was fixed in another manufacturer's catheter.As a result, they removed the support catheter with the wire and completed the case.After the procedure, they attempted to push the wire out of the other manufacturer's catheter backwards but they were unsuccessful.They were only able to push the wire forward.Due to the amount of calcification, the patient was taken to surgery.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.
