Event Description
|
During a premature ventricular contraction procedure, an intellamap orion catheter was selected for use.It was reported that the physician had inserted the orion in the left ventricle by a retro aortic approach.Once in the left ventricle, she noticed she could not deploy the orion completely, with the deployment slider at the maximum deployment state on the handle.The orion was not fully deployed on the fluoroscopy and rhythmia.She took the orion out of the patient and noticed that an abnormal metallic part was attached to the orion.The catheter was exchanged for a new one to complete the case.No patient complications were reported.
