Event Description

It was reported that a (b)(6) female patient underwent a redo pulmonary vein isolation (pvi) ablation procedure on which a lasso® nav eco variable catheter was used, and thrombosis occurred requiring thrombus aspiration.During the procedure, 10000 units of heparin were administered to the patient.Activated clotting time (act) was 236 seconds.Then, a thrombus was noted post lasso insertion within the left atrium (la) attached to its distal shaft (approximately 1 cm below curved lasso sensor array) between first and second transseptal puncture.Thrombus was confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography (toe).Thrombus was noted prior to the ablation catheter reaching the la.Ablation catheter was at no stage advanced into the left atrium.Nil issues noted upon connecting or flushing the ablation catheter.5000 units of heparin were administered.Act post delivery was 322.3000 u of heparin were then administered.Act post delivery was 359.The thrombus was aspirated with a medium curve agilis sheath.Reminder of the procedure was aborted.The patient did not exhibit neurological symptoms since the procedure was completed.The physician believed the amount of thrombus was excessive, the thrombus was linear independently mobile structure attached to lasso shaft, it was easily recognized on toe despite 10000u of heparin administered prior to the introduction of the lasso.Physician also considered the thrombus to be a significant risk of an embolic event.Catheter was unable to be withdrawn into sheath or back across septum prior to attempts to directly aspirate thrombus due to likelihood of ¿sheering off¿ the thrombus from the catheter.Computerized tomography (ct) of brain was done post catheter removal to exclude stroke.Extended hospitalization was not required.
