During an atrial fibrillation procedure, the diagnostic catheter became stuck on itself.Due to such, it was not possible to get the diagnostic catheter back into the sheath.The catheter was removed by pulling out the sheath with the catheter still sticking out the distal portion of the sheath.Following the removal of the catheter, the catheter was found to be kinked.The catheter was replaced and the procedure was continued.There were no adverse consequences to the patient.
