Event or Problem Description
Clinical narrative: a 66-year-old male with a history of cardiomyopathy presented in a pre support clinical state consistent with scai shock stage e.The patient was supported with an impella 5.5 device (sn (b)(6)) implanted via a right axillary/subclavian surgical arterial access on (b)(6) 2026 at 01:44 am.Following the removal of a previously placed intra aortic balloon pump (iabp), while the impella 5.5 remained in place and functioning, the patient developed significant vasodilation and hemorrhagic shock.There was clinical concern for a right sided retroperitoneal hematoma at the prior iabp access site.The patient became severely hemodynamically unstable with serum lactate levels reported as high as 10 mmol/l.Vascular surgery was consulted and continued to follow the patient; however, no surgical intervention was planned at the time of reporting due to clinical improvement.The reported event of hemorrhagic and vasodilatory shock occurred following iabp removal with suspected access site bleeding and was managed medically with improvement noted.There is no evidence at this time to suggest device malfunction, performance issue, or use error associated with the impella 5.5 system.The event appears related to patient underlying critical condition, scai shock stage e and procedural/access site complications rather than the device.The patient remains on impella support with survival outcome and explant status pending.
