Event or Problem Description
|
|
The physician used a dxterity guide catheter when treating the rca (ostium/ proximal/ mid).No damage was noted to the packaging of the catheter.The catheter was removed from packaging per ifu and inspected with no issues noted.The catheter was prepped with no issues noted.No resistance was encountered when advancing the gc, excessive force was not used.The rca had no calcification, no tortuosity.When the physician went to engage the catheter, a spiral dissection occurred in the ostium to mid vessel , caused by the diagnostic catheter when it engaged the slightly anterior take off of the rca.The dissection was treated with two drug-eluting stents.No specific malfunction reported but the physician said the stiffness of the tip of the dxterity is more than likely the cause.There is no alleged product issue.No additional patient clinical sequelae reported.
