Event Description

Tevar to treat taa.Landing in distal aorta.Access good.No scan to send.The doctor told me the size to bring to case.We did discuss and look over scan before case.No access issues.Doctor put in 2 per closes for access and then 9fr sheath.After he had his lunderquist up, he took out the 9fr and advanced the relay pro.The sheath lip got stuck and couldn't advance so he took out the device and put in a 18fr sheath to dilate the hole.He inspected the sheath tip and it was a little damaged but pressed his fingers to fix and it looked good.After dilation, the relay pro was placed again and no issues going through the groin.The deployment stents went well.At step 4, the resident walked the dilator over the wire to house in the sheath.Once it got to the sheath it got stuck.I told him to rotate the rod to get the tip in the sheath.It was stuck.The doc decided to take out the sheath at that time.When device came out of the body, we noticed the tip of the device had a sharp lip and it was stuck on the sheath that was very deformed.Access closure everything was fine, but the doctor did not like the tip sharp edge that it could have affected the closure.I told the doctor i will return the device and not to touch it or inspect it but while i was out of the room, they looked at it and "fixed" the tip edge.So just fyi when you inspect the device.Patient outcome: "no patient related issues.".
