Event or Problem Description

Olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) received a literature titled "aortic wall abrasion caused by needle injury after endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration of a mediastinal hemangioma".Literature summary: benign mediastinal cysts are challenging to diagnose.Although endoscopic ultrasound (eus) and eus-guided fine needle aspiration (fna) can accurately diagnose mediastinal foregut cysts, little is known about their complications.This paper reports a rare case in which eus-fna performed on mediastinal hemangioma resulted in an aortic hematoma.A 29-year-old female patient was commissioned for eus of an asymptomatic accidental mediastinal lesion.Chest ct revealed a 4.9×2.9×10.1 cm thin-walled cystic mass in the posterior mediastinum.Eus revealed a large, anechoic cystic lesion with a regular thin wall with negative doppler.Eus-guided fna was performed using a single-use 19-gauge aspiration needle (ez shot 3; olympus, tokyo, japan), and approximately 70 cc of serous pinkish fluid was aspirated.The patient was in a stable condition with no signs of acute complication.One day after eus-fna, thoracoscopic resection for mediastinal mass was conducted.The purple and multi-loculated large cyst was removed.Upon removal, however, an aortic hematoma caused by a focal descending aortic wall injury was observed.After a few days of close observation, the patient was discharged upon stable 3d aorta angio ct findings.This paper reports a rare and severe complication of eus-fna, in which an aspiration needle caused a direct injury to the aorta.The injection must be performed carefully to avoid damaging the adjacent organs or digestive tract walls.Type of adverse events/number of patients aortic hematoma, which was thought to have been caused by a focal descending aortic wall injury - 1 patient.There is no report of any olympus device malfunction in any procedure described in this study.
