Event or Problem Description
It was reported that on (b)(6) 2022, a 20mm amplatzer septal occluder was chosen for implant using a 12f amplatzer trevisio intravascular delivery system.During release, the device assumed a non-conforming cobra shaped deformation.The device was recaptured in the introducer and taken out of the patient.Outside of the patient, the device assumed the same cobra shape.There was no interaction with cardiac structures during deployment.There was no angulation or kink noticed in the delivery system.The decision was made to replace the device with a 22mm amplatzer septal occluder, which was successfully implanted.The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure.There was no clinically significant delay in procedure and no adverse patient effects.
