Event Description
|
A healthcare provider reported that the patient was having surgery for a hysterectomy that was unrelated to the device or therapy.They wanted to have the device removed, while in that surgery, so they could have mri's for their pre-existing conditions.The hcp stated that notes from the operations said that the left lead and device were explanted fully, but on the right boot there was a fracture of the distal tines causing them to not be able to remove the lead.There were no plans to try to remove the lead in the future.The patient's pre-existing conditions included paraplegic due to a fall from a tree and t11 fracture, pelvic organ prolapse, and urostomy.They also noted that the device was still being held in pathology and that a rep was not present at the time of the event.
