Event Description

A lead extraction procedure commenced to remove a right atrial (ra), a right ventricular (rv), and a left ventricular (lv) lead due to infection.Spectranetics lead locking devices (llds) were inserted into each lead to provide traction.The ra and lv leads were removed successfully without any issues.Then, using a spectranetics 14f glidelight laser sheath to remove the rv lead, the helix of the lead did not come back after use of lasing and traction.Devices switched to a spectranetics 13f tightrail rotating dilator sheath; and although progress was being made, the lead had not completely freed when the patient''s blood pressure dropped.Rescue efforts began immediately, including bypass and sternotomy.A perforation of the inferior vena cava (ivc)/ra junction was discovered and repaired.The rv lead was removed completely post-sternotomy, and the patient survived the procedure.This report captures the 13f tightrail in use when the perforation occurred, requiring intervention.There was no alleged malfunction of any spectranetics devices in use during the procedure.
