Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that on (b)(6) 2023, a 38mm amplatzer septal occluder was chosen for implantation into an atrial septal defect (asd) utilizing a 12f amplatzer trevisio delivery system.After positioning the right disc of the occluder, the left disc had a bulbous shaped deformity.It was decided to retrieve the device and remove from anatomy.However, the left disc would not reenter the sheath as it was in a small ball shape.After several attempts and "untwisting" the cable, the device was able to enter the sheath.When removing the sheath, the blue tip of the sheath was observed to be folded in.Outside of the body, the occluder held the bulbous shape.There was no kink or angulation in the delivery system and no interaction with cardiac structures.There was no reported patient consequences or clinically significant delay.The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure.The patient was reported to be discharged.
