Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the patient presented in stable condition after experiencing an acute myocardial infarction, but percutaneous intervention (pci) was determined to be urgent.After successful stent implantation in the left circumflex coronary artery, a 3.5x8mm trek balloon was advanced for stent post-dilatation, but the balloon failed to inflate during the first inflation.At that point, electrocardiogram (ecg) changes were noted, the patient became seriously hypotensive and went into cardiac arrest.Air was noted in all branches of the left coronary and a hole was noted on the shaft of the trek catheter.Advance cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated, including intubation, medications and cardiac compressions.After 15 minutes, the patient recovered and after 2 days, the patient was extubated, with no adverse sequela.No additional information was provided.

Visual and functional inspections were performed on the returned device.The reported inflation issue and leak were confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents and/or complaints from this lot.The reported patient effects of air embolism and hypotension are listed in the coronary dilatation catheters (cdc), trek rx, global, instructions for use as known patient effects.The investigation determined the reported leak, inflation issue, additional treatment, treatment with medications and hospitalization appear to be related to operational context.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effects of air embolism, hypotension, ekg/ecg changes and cardiac arrest and the relationship to the device, if any, cannot be determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
