Event Description
|
It was reported that an attempt was made to use one guidewire in a non-tortuous, non-calcified lesion in the coronary sinus vein.The device was inspected with no issues noted.The wire tip was not formed by the physician.The lesion was pre-dilated.The device did not pass through a previously-deployed stent.Resistance was encountered when advancing the guidewire.Excessive force was not used during insertion/delivery.It was reported that guidewire detachment in vivo occurred and resistance was experienced during insertion.After successful coronary sinus cannulation with a guide catheter, the guidewire was introduced through the left ventricle (lv) lead with no resistance or complications.However, after cannulating the posterolateral vein and advancing the lv lead over the guidewire, resistance was experienced when attempting to retract the lead.The lead and guidewire did not retracted entirely and part of the guidewire remained in the patient.It was detailed that the broken guidewire portion was aspirated via the guide catheter.The detached portion was removed from the patient.The guidewire and lead were replaced with a competitor guidewire and new lead.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.

It was reported that an attempt was made to use one guidewire in a non-tortuous, non-calcified lesion in the coronary sinus vein.The device was inspected with no issues noted.The wire tip was not formed by the physician.The lesion was pre-dilated.The device did not pass through a previously-deployed stent.Resistance was encountered when advancing the guidewire.Excessive force was not used during insertion/delivery.The subclavian procedural approach was used.The guidewire had not been successfully with other devices prior to the difficulties occurring.It was reported that guidewire detachment in vivo occurred and resistance was experienced during insertion.After successful coronary sinus cannulation with a guide catheter, the guidewire was introduced through the left ventricle (lv) lead with no resistance or complications.However, after cannulating the posterolateral vein and advancing the lv lead over the guidewire, resistance was experienced when attempting to retract the lead.Resistance was not noted when loading the guidewire into the lead and was felt only when retracting.The lead and guidewire did not retracted entirely and part of the guidewire remained in the patient.It was detailed that the broken guidewire portion was aspirated via the guide catheter.The detached portion was removed from the patient.The guidewire and lead were replaced with a competitor guidewire and new lead.The patient is alive with no injury.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
