Event Description

It was reported to boston scientific corporation on (b)(6) 2022 that a habib endohpb rf catheter was used to treat a hilar bile duct stenosis during a radiofrequency ablation procedure performed on (b)(6) 2022. During the procedure, the device was able to cauterize the right hepatic duct; however, there was difficulty in removing the catheter. Eventually, the catheter was pulled out with force. The physician then cauterized the left hepatic duct but the catheter was again difficult to remove. The catheter was removed with force, and the electrode detached and fell in the bile duct. The electrode was attempted to be removed with forceps but it fell on the liver side of the stenosis. The detached electrode remained inside the patient and the procedure was completed. There were no patient complications as a result of this event. The patient's condition at the conclusion of the procedure was reported to be stable.
