Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the physician was attempting to seal a residual leak following a watchman procedure in the left atrial appendage.The coil was advanced through a 6f coronary guide catheter; however, the lumen of the catheter was believed to be too large.The coil subsequently detached prematurely within the 6f guide catheter and did not exit the tip of the catheter, becoming lodged within the system.It was reported that the physician was able to successfully snare and retrieve the coil without any harm to the patient.An amplatzer plug was then used to treat the leak behind the watchman device.

The investigation of the returned coil system found the implant stretched and bunched up at the proximal section, separated from the pusher, and partially stuck within the catheter.The investigation found the implant's monofilament at the tie knot showed a tensile break shape at the tip, which is consistent with the device experiencing force that exceeded the strength of the monofilament causing the implant to separate from the pusher.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the stretched implant, but stretching is consistent with the device experiencing forces exceeding the implant's yield strength.The returned catheter was not found damaged and would not have caused or contributed to the reported complaint.
