It was reported that a phoenix catheter was used in a therapeutic peripheral procedure in a severely calcified lesion.First, the catheter was used to treat the proximal sfa, and due to the severe calcification, an inova stent was placed.Next, the plan was to treat the distal segment of the popliteal artery.Because of the hard calcification, a 3 mm balloon was placed over the guidewire for dilatation.Then, the catheter was inserted over the guidewire to treat the popliteal artery.After, the guidewire was removed and under fluoroscopy, contrast medium leakage (evidence of perforation) was noted.An attempt was made to replace with a 0.035 guidewire distal to the perforation, but images showed the guidewire had looped, and exited the vessel, worsening the perforation.Therefore, it was decided to bypass the vessel with a vein.Today, the patient is doing fine and the leg is warm with good pulses.This adverse event is being submitted because the phoenix catheter was in the area when a perforation occurred, and required additional intervention.There was no alleged malfunction with the phoenix catheter.

Blocks d9 & h3: the phoenix catheter was returned for evaluation.Block h3: visual inspection found no unusual characteristics of the catheter.The cutter and flex capacitor was stalled; however, this is a normal occurrence due to heavy biologics present.Additionally, there was a small tear on the catheter shaft but no sharp edges were observed.During functional testing, the handle was tested at 11800 rpm and worked as intended.Block h6: based on the evaluation, the phoenix catheter performed as intended.There was no visible damage or mechanical failure that could have caused the perforation.Further, a non-philips dilation balloon was also in the area when the perforation occurred, which could have caused the perforation, but cannot be confirmed.Submission of this report does not, in itself, represent a conclusion by the manufacturer and/or authorized representative or the national competent authority that the content of this report is complete or accurate, that the medical device(s) listed failed in any manner and/or that the medical device(s) caused or contributed to an alleged death or deterioration in the state of the health of any person.
