Event Description
|
The patient had a concomitant surgical procedure of mitral valve replacement through a sternotomy.During the same procedure on ((b)(6) 2021) a cryoflex probe and a cardioblate bp2 ft-10 clamp powered by a ft-10 generator were used.The left atrial appendage was successfully amputated/excised and over-sewn.Left pulmonary vein (lpv) conduction block was not performed due to patient anatomy and right pulmonary vein (rpv) conduction block was successfully achieved.On the same day as the procedure ((b)(6) 2021), the patient experienced junctional rhythm, which was treated by stopping amiodarone.The adverse event was deemed by the site as possibly related to the cryoflex probe and cardioblate bp2 ft-10 clamp, study devices, probably related to the study procedure and the concomitant procedure.
