It was reported that during a cryo ablation procedure, the patient's blood pressure decreased. echocardiogram showed cardiac tamponade.Tracheal intubation and drainage were performed which helped stabilize the blood pressure.However, the blood pressure decreased again during hemostasis.Cardiac massage and drainage were resumed which helped remove the tamponade.The patient was transported to the intensive care unit (icu) and the case was completed with cryo.The physician stated that this could be because that the "rv" catheter was inserted too deep.The patient was coughing during the case so the catheter was "scratched".Hemorrhaging was also observed. no further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.2023-01-25, 15:36:47: it was also reported that the patient underwent pulmonary vein isolation (pvi) followed by cavotricuspid isthmus isolation (cti).The patient was coughing during the pvi portion of the procedure, but not during the cti portion of the procedure.It was also reported that the cardiac massage was performed outside of the patients chest, meaning chest compressions were performed.It was also reported that the left inferior pulmonary vein (lipv) had been perforated prior to the hypotension, hemorrhage, and tamponade.The perforation was not noticed while the patient was in the operating room.No further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
