Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure in the common iliac artery using an indigo system aspiration catheter 7 (cat7), a non-penumbra sheath and a guidewire.During the procedure, while advancing the cat7 through the stents, the physician experienced resistance and kinked the cat7.While retracting the cat7, the physician encountered resistance and subsequently, the distal end of the cat7 broke.The physician then removed most of the broken distal end using a snare device and stented the remaining portion against the vessel wall.The procedure ended at this point.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
