Event or Problem Description
|
|
The user facility reported that the surgeon was performing a right lower extremity angiogram with intervention.Access was in the left common femoral artery with a 7fr x 45cm destination sheath.After the procedure was complete, the surgeon attempted to retract the sheath and encountered resistance.He felt that the sheath was stretching out and was not coming out of the patient.The surgeon decided to perform a cut-down of the common femoral artery (cfa)to remove the sheath.The estimated blood loss was less than 250cc.The procedure type was a lower extremity angiogram with intervention.Additional information was received on 26jun2025: the physician stated that he did not believe there was any issue with the sheath itself, during the cut-down he found that the groin was very scarred and believed it was the scar tissue that was resisting the sheath from being removed.The patient was doing well.
