Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure in the right m2 segment of the middle cerebral artery (mca) using a penumbra system red 62 reperfusion catheter (red62), a velocity delivery microcatheter (velocity) and a non-penumbra sheath.During the procedure, the patient suffered a vessel rupture after the completion of the first pass.Therefore, the vessel was tamponaded with a balloon; however, the extravasation continued.Therefore, a coil occlusion was performed and the event was considered resolved.The vessel rupture was reported to be a serious adverse event with a possible relationship to the penumbra system and a definite relationship to the index procedure.On 22-dec-2022, an update was received from the site indicating that the vessel rupture was unrelated to the penumbra system.On 04-apr-2023, additional information indicated that the clinical events committee (cec) adjudicated that the vessel rupture was definitely related to the penumbra system and the index procedure.
