Manufacturer Narrative

The results of the investigation are inconclusive since the device was not returned for analysis.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed.Based on the information received, the cause of the reported aortic puncture was due to complex anatomy.

Event Description

During the left atrial appendage closure procedure, while attempting to tent the septum from the right atrium to the left atrium, a pericardial effusion was observed in the aorta on the transesophageal echocardiography (tee) images.The pericardial effusion was attributed to the complex septum anatomy.The patient became hypotensive so a drain was attempted but the tamponade was significant, and surgery was performed to stabilize the patient.
