Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a (b)(6) year-old male patient ((b)(6) lbs) underwent a cardiac ablation procedure for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with a soundstar® eco diagnostic ultrasound catheter and suffered ventricular fibrillation (vfib), myocardial infarction, and death.While mapping in the right atrium (ra), in preparation for ablation in the left atrium (prior to transseptal procedure), the patient went into ventricular tachycardia, was coded and then expired.First, a cartosound map was created of the left atrium with the soundstar eco diagnostic ultrasound catheter.A smart touch sf catheter (used only to map the right atrium) was placed into the coronary sinus (cs) to create a fast-anatomical mapping (fam) map.This was removed then the coronary sinus catheter was placed into the coronary sinus.No radiofrequency was delivered at any time.At this point the certified registered nurse anesthetists (crna) stated to the physician that "the patient had a lot of co2 consumption," and that "it would be easier to paralyze the patient." when the anesthesiologist came into the room to put the patient under general anesthesia, they commented that the patient's vitals were "tanking." the patient was then noticed to be in ventricular fibrillation (vfib).The nurse performed chest compressions and the patient was defibrillated multiple times.A patient code was called, and the cath lab team came in, continued administering chest compressions.The cardiologist performed an angiogram, a shot of contrast was administered to assess the coronary arteries, and it was noted that "plaque came off" and the left main coronary artery was visualized as a "pool of blood," no coronaries were visible.The patient's death was called.Upon review on the ep recording system, just prior to the patient entering vf, there were st segment elevations in the inferior leads were noted on the electrocardiogram.Patient suffered myocardial infarction of left main artery.The physician did not state that they believed bwi equipment contributed to the patient's event or death.Physician related the cause of the event to the patient's condition as the patient suffered right ventricle myocardial infarction.Patient's relevant tests/laboratory data included: creatinine: 0.80, hemoglobin 16.8, inr 1.00.With the information available, this event is being conservatively assessed as mdr reportable under the soundstar® eco diagnostic ultrasound catheter as it was the only catheter inside the patient's body at the time of the event.
