Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported to boston scientific corporation that a trapezoid rx lithotripter basket was used in the common bile duct (cbd) during an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) procedure for cbd stone removal performed on (b)(6) 23, 2026.During the procedure, after the stone was captured, the basket could not be pulled through the papilla.The trapezoid rx basket was then connected to an alliance handle to perform lithotripsy.During lithotripsy, the basket fractured at the handle end, and the safety release mechanism did not activate to allow release of the stone from the basket.A second trapezoid rx basket was used; however, this basket handle also fractured during lithotripsy.As a result, the basket with the impacted stone was left in the patient, and the procedure was discontinued and rescheduled for the following day.On the next day, the procedure was successfully completed using spyglass and an ehl probe to perform lithotripsy and remove the stone.No patient complications were reported as a result of this event.The patient's condition was reported as fine following the successful completion of the rescheduled procedure.Note: this report pertains to the first of two trapezoid rx lithotripter baskets used during the same procedure.
