Event or Problem Description
|
|
The account alleges that during a peripheral vascular aneurysm repair procedure, the catheter tip was damaged, and a piece of the catheter detached within the patient.The physician had acquired retrograde right femoral artery access and had negotiated the patient's common iliac bifurcation with a guidewire and the 5f catheter.During the placement of intravascular coils within the targeted common iliac aneurysm, a coil perforated the distal tip of the catheter causing part of the catheter tip to detach and migrate distally within the patient's left leg.The physician was unable to identify the foreign body under fluoro/cine imaging.The physician did not attempt to retrieve the detached tip from the patient.
