It was reported that during a coolseal trinity procedure on (b)(6) 2024, a coolseal trinity 30cm and coolseal generator were used during a thoracoscopic procedure on a child (6 years old, female), dissecting and sealing vessels.During the procedure it was identified that the patient was bleeding from a previously dissected and sealed branch of the pulmonary artery, and there were concerns of a potential seal failure.The patient suffered significant bleeding which could not be stopped, resulting in patient death.On a follow up email it was determined that the bleeding started 3 hours after the surgery began, major bleeding was encountered from a corner of a previously sealed and divided basal arterial branch.The procedure was a video assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy surgery.No pre-existent conditions were reported.Multiple steps were taken after the bleeding was observed to treat it, compression, tranexamic acid and blood transfusion.No other information was received.
