Event Description
|
Physician was attempting to use a hawkone directional atherectomy along with non-medtronic 6fr sheath and 0.014" x 14 guidewire during procedure to treat a moderately calcified lesion in the left distal superficial femoral artery (sfa), popliteal artery (pop) and tibial/popliteal trunk (tpt) with chronic total occlusion (cto-100%).The vessel was little calcified.The vessel diameter and lesion length are 6mm and 30mm respectively.Not specified if embolic protection was used.The vessel was pre dilated but not post dilated.Ifu was followed.It was reported that during withdrawal, moderate resistance was encountered and tip detached.It was separated at the hinge pin.Antegrade access with difficult sheath manipulation and angle was experienced.Hawkone was difficult to remove due to angle of sheath.No prolapse was present.It was reported that the device separated within the sheath during removal which prompted ending procedure immediately due to removal of entire sheath to ensure complete device retrieval.The tip came off entirely in the sheath therefore the sheath had to removed immediately to ensure complete retrieval of the device.Access was lost.Hemostasis was difficult to achieve due to anatomical features of the patient.Because the sheath was removed and due to anticoagulation, bleeding was difficult to control and led to an urgent response to stabilize the patients vital signs.A prolonged period of manual pressure to control bleeding along with administration of medication to reverse heparin.This likely caused thrombus in the lower leg which required surgical evacuation.Vessel occlusion due to thrombus were complications associated with this event.Patient went to surgery for thrombectomy to complete the procedure.The device itself did not directly cause patient to go to surgery however the device coming apart in the sheath directly led to premature ending of the case.Patient had successful surgery, spent the night and went home.No further patient injury was reported.
