Event Description

It was reported that at the end of a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation with a dynamic xt electrode catheter, the patient was in atrial fibrillation.The physician proceeded to perform an internal shock (41j) then an external (200j).He then tried to remove the catheter present in the distal portion of the coronary sinus, which was stuck / stuck to the wall (heating due to internal electric shock).The physician used an non-boston scientific sheath in order to remove the catheter from the coronary sinus (he cut the handle of the catheter) and succeeded in removing the catheter from the patient.Extraction was performed by gentle and progressive pressure.There was no pericardial effusion at extraction and at 10 minutes.The patient was well and did not encounter any other problems.The device is expected to be returned for analysis.
