A event leading to death was reported to be possibly associated with the use of the er21b cannula and icf100 catheter.The physician initially thought the patient's vessel was too small, but then the surgeon cut the vessel down and decided to move forward with the use of the icf100.It was reported that the guidewire possibly got caught at some point in the vessel (it is unclear if that is the wire for the endoreturn or the icf100).The icf100 was not yet inflated.It also is presumed that surgical technique or an anomaly with the wire could have been related to the event, though no abnormalities or anomallies were reported.No resistance mentioned during advancement.Issue was not noticed until the icf100 was in the ascending (prior to inflation).Preop scan was when the patient was sitting up so the doctor didn't get a good femoral view prior to the procedure.Ultrasound before procedure of femoral vessels was approximate for measurement (6.8 mm)- when they did the cut down, they thought the vessel was large enough.Surgeon cannulated with er21b followed by placement of intraclude.Shortly after left and right radial pressures went to 0 and tee confirmed a retrograde aortic dissection that extended to the ascending aorta.Intraclude was removed and bypass was established centrally.The patient expired.Surgeon believes arterial injury to have occurred wiring the aorta.User training level was reported to be limited.Duration of product use was reported to be 20 minutes.The related devices were discarded at the hospital.See related report 3031571797-2026-00012 in relation to this event.
