Event or Problem Description
|
|
An 82-year-old female presented to the emergency department due to ongoing shortness of breath.The patient had been experiencing symptoms for more than 5 days.Imaging revealed large clot burden in the right atrium (ra) which was a clot-in-transit (cit).Additionally, the patient had a saddle pulmonary embolism (pe) in the main pulmonary artery (mpa) and bilateral pe in the right pulmonary artery (rpa) and left pulmonary artery (lpa).Removal of the cit was successful.The 1st aspiration yielded substantial thrombus.The physician inserted the dilator and advanced the triever24 (t24) to engage with the clot and did 2 additional pulls, completely removing clot from the ra.The physician proceeded to cross the right heart and take pressure measurements.Due to the patient's pressures, there was discussion on ending the case, but the physician wanted to quickly address the pulmonary arteries.Wire position was obtained and the t24 was advanced.The t24 caused the wire to push out and due to the high pressures, the physician switched to a triever20 (t20).The t20 was advanced into the mpa, and multiple aspirations yielded organized clot.The physician then advanced the t20 without the dilator and performed several more aspirations which yielded clot.The physician moved the t20 due to cavitation and advanced it again without the dilator.The subsequent aspiration did not yield clot.The physician pulled back into the mpa and re-wired to the lpa.Upon advancing the t20, the patient complained of phlegm in their throat.Observation revealed blood was also present in the patient's mouth.The physician continued with the procedure while the patient spat up blood.The patient was assessed and there no were signs of extravasation.The patient then began to decompensate and was intubated.A code was called, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) was conducted for 20 seconds.Defibrillator pads were also used.Upon obtaining a heartbeat, the patient was placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ecmo) and the area of extravasation was ballooned.The extravasation was located on the right lung near the truncus anterior/right interlobar which aligned with where the t20 was advanced without a dilator.A bronchoscope was also performed which confirmed blood coming from the right lung.The patient was additionally given a blood transfusion and pressors among other medications which helped raise their blood pressure.The patient was discharged to the intensive care unit.
