It was reported that the catheter had a hole.A 135/10 renegade hi-flo was selected for use into the left hepatic artery for pre-y90 mapping.During the procedure, when trying to advance the fathom microwire down the renegade, the wire would not come out the distal tip and a lot of resistance was noted only from the wire.The wire and renegade were pulled out and it was noted that a hole had developed in the side of the microcatheter towards the distal end.The fathom wire was passed through the renegade at least 3 or 4 times with no issue prior.Only one power injection was performed through the renegade at a rate of 2 ml/s for 6 ml at 600 psi.The procedure was successfully completed with a new microcatheter.No patient complications were reported.
