Event or Problem Description
|
|
Doctor was performing a declot.At or around 1 minute of running the rotarex, the scrub tech stated that the wire was feeling hot.I asked doctor to stop and reassess which he did.As he was removing the catheter he felt that the wire was hard to manipulate.After he finally removed the catheter and wire, he noticed that the tip of the wire was mangled.He used fluoroscopy to search for any wire fragments upon which he located.After multiple attempts to retrieve wire fragment it was determined that there was no immediate or future harm to the patient and decided to continue with the completion of the procedure.
