Event or Problem Description
It was reported that during idvt (idiopathic ventricular tachycardia) cardiac ablation procedure with an octaray mapping catheter, the patient experienced complete heart block treated during the procedure with catheter pacing, then placement of a permanent pacemaker implant.When crossing the tricuspid valve with the octaray catheter, the catheter bumped into the conduction system.This resulted in complete heart block, noted on the 12 lead ecg (electrocardiogram) signals.The patient was paced with an rv (right ventricular) quad catheter for the rest of the procedure, and conduction did not recover.This heart block occurred before any ablation had been performed.The patient had a permanent pacemaker implant post ablation to treat the heart block.The patient is currently stable.Octaray catheter is unavailable for return.A sterilmed cs catheter, ngen generator, and carto 3 system were used in this procedure.The information received indicated that the physician¿s opinion on the cause of this adverse event was that the block was caused by brushing past the area with the octaray, and did not feel that any equipment malfunctioned or performed not as intended.
