It was reported that during cardiomems implant while attempting to deploy the sensor, the proximal loop of the sensor stayed attached to the device sheath.After unsuccessful troubleshooting, which included multiple breath holds and inserting a swan catheter next to the delivery catheter to try to ¿bump¿ the device off, the sensor needed to be snared in order to extract from the patient, and the implant procedure was aborted.An additional access site was used to remove the device.The physician confirmed that this issue caused a clinically significant delay as the procedure took longer than planned due to length of troubleshooting and the intervention needed to remove the device.A second attempt at implant is not scheduled at this time.
