Event or Problem Description

|
A lead extraction procedure commenced to remove a right atrial (ra) and a right ventricular (rv) lead due to non function.Spectranetics lld ez lead locking devices (lld ezs) were inserted into each lead to provide traction.Using a spectranetics 9f tightrail rotating dilator sheath, the rv lead was removed first, then the ra lead.When the tightrail was removed, a subclavian perforation was detected, resulting in a large loss of blood to the patient.A rescue balloon was used to temporarily occlude the perforation, followed by placement of 3 stents to repair the perforation.The patient survived the procedure.This report captures the tightrail in use within the area when the perforation occurred, requiring intervention.There was no alleged malfunction of any spectranetics devices in use during the procedure.
