Event or Problem Description
|
|
An impella cp was inserted via the femoral access site to support a 81 year old female patient who had been admitted in with known coronary artery disease and a plan for a protected percutaneous coronary intervention (pci).The underlying medical history was not shared.The cp allowed for the pci but, due to an access site bleed around the sheath, the team made decision to explant the pump.The patient was noted to be hemodynamically stable post explant.Of note the patient was on both anticoagulants and antiplatelets.Anticoagulation necessary for the pump placement and support can contribute to access site bleeding.The patient has survived the harm.
