As reported, the avanti plus catheter sheath introducer (si avanti+ 8f std w/gw no obt) fell off (separated) from a patient and there was blood return.The patient's heart rate and blood pressure did not change at that time and small clips were used to clip the arterial collaterals and reflex the catheter to prevent bleeding.The patient was reported to have been initially admitted due to acute coronary syndrome and was placed in an intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp).The pump was subsequently replaced with a fixed catheter (the avanti plus catheter) which was found disconnected from the patient at bedtime.The collateral catheter was immediately reversed, and the event was reported to the doctor and head nurse.According to the additional information provided, the patient was reported to have been hospitalized due to acute myocardial infarction and acute thromboembolism and underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) via the anterior descending branch.The lesion was not calcified; there was no vessel tortuosity and ninety-percent stenosis.There were no anomalies noted when the product was removed from the package.The product was stored and handled according to the instructions for use (ifu).The product was inspected and prepped according to the ifu and there was no difficulty experienced when prepping the device.The patient did not require extended hospitalization as a result of this event.There was resistance during withdrawal of the sheath from the vessel.The physician removed the sheath and checked the inner diameter of the sheath to confirm if it was the same throughout the entire sheath, but there was a bulge (obstruction) which was believed to be the cause of the resistance.The reported separation occurred during procedural use.The product was discarded at site.
