It was reported that the flexor sheath included in the rosch-uchida transjugular liver access set broke at the shaft during a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (tips) procedure for a 53-year-old male patient.The patient was admitted to the hospital on (b)(6) 2025 with a history of liver cirrhosis and esophageal varices.On (b)(6) 2024, after inserting the device percutaneously, the hemostatic valve separated from the introducer sheath.Upon noting this separation, the product was immediately replaced with a new device to continue the procedure.The only component advanced through the sheath when it broke was the stylet.Customer provided photo reveals sheath shaft separated near the flare of the check flo valve.As reported, the patient did not experience any adverse effects or require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.
