Event or Problem Description
The complainant reported a patient noted as high risk percutaneous coronary intervention was implanted with an impella 2.5 device for mechanical circulatory support.While on support, flows dropped quickly to less than 0.5 l/min, clot suspected.The physician elected to remove the pump, run in basin of sterile saline, and reinsert.The pump restarted, and the flows were appropriate for p level.Perforation requiring covered stent and/or balloon tamponade.The patient expired.It is more likely that the obtuse marginal 1 perforation was the cause of the patient's death.However, the immediate low flow at start of support that resulted in explant and re-implant of the impella catheter cannot be excluded as a contributing factor leading to the complication.
