|
It was reported that during a peripheral and altatrack catheter (mdr #3003768277-2021-00001) were used in the right renal artery.After navigation to the right renal artery with a steerable sheath, the physician felt resistance and angiography showed a dissection of the right renal artery.The dissection was treated by placing a longer covered stent than initially planned inside the right renal artery.The patient encountered no hemodynamic instability.The procedure was completed with the suspect device.After the procedure, the physician and the surgeon involved reviewed the angiogram and thought the dissection might have been caused by the tip of the guidewire during catheterization of the target vessel or might have been caused by the blunt tip of the catheter.This adverse event is being submitted because the altatrack catheter and altatrack guidewire were used when the patient experienced a dissection requiring additional intervention.
