The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure in the popliteal and femoral vein using an indigo system aspiration catheter 12 (cat12).During the procedure, the rotating hemostasis valve (rhv) of the cat12 was causing an air leak in the system.Therefore, the rhv was removed.Next, the physician used a non-penumbra tuohy; however, the tuohy kept clogging; therefore, the tuohy was also removed.The procedure was completed using a new rhv.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
