Event or Problem Description
It was reported that during the implant procedure, the catheter and two his bundle leads were broken.It was noted that during the first insertion of the sheath and the his lead, the physician tried locating a target spot, but there was no good his signal, therefore the physician decided to change the location.The physician removed the lead to inspect the helix and reinserted back into the catheter sheath and found some resistance during insertion.The physician removed the sheath and lead and found a ¿cut like tear on the sheath¿.The catheter was replaced.The physician attempted to screw in the his lead with much resistance.The physician turned the lead multiple times, but the lead ¿did not progress¿.The physician removed the lead and noticed that the lead was broken at an angle.The lead was replaced, and a similar ¿fate¿ occurred with another his bundle lead.The his bundle lead was not used, and another lead was implanted.The newly implanted lead had high initial impedance and threshold measurements but dropped during closing of the pocket.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
