The angiosculpt catheter was used in a peripheral procedure.During removal, significant resistance was encountered, necessitating simultaneous withdrawal of the angiosculpt with the guidewire.The procedure was completed with a non-angiosculpt device.No patient injury reported.This product problem is being submitted due to removal as a system.There is potential for harm if it were to recur.
