It was reported that on (b)(6) 2023, a 11mm amplatzer septal occluder (aso) was implanted as usual with use of a 7f amplatzer trevisio delivery system.The physician did not encounter any difficulty or resistance with the device implant.After the aso was implanted in the defect, the delivery cable was detached from the aso without any issue.When the delivery cable was being pulled into the trevisio delivery sheath, resistance was felt.After pulling out from the patient, fibrous form like substances was visually confirmed adhering onto 1-2cm of the tip of the delivery cable.The physician alleged that although the aso was able to be detached from the delivery cable as usual, resistance was felt while the delivery cable was pulled into the delivery sheath.So the polyester fiber might have been accidentally tangled by the cable.At present, no findings have been confirmed under echo observation and fluoroscopy of the aso after placement.The product box containing the delivery system did not appeared damaged in any way.Patient stable, no additional information was provided.
