The hospital reported that during a coronary artery bypass procedure, while inserting the heartstring iii proximal seal system 4.3mm, the device failed to deploy correctly and create a seal on the inner aortic wall.Several adjustment attempts were tried but a seal could not be achieved.The first device was removed and a second heartstring iii was inserted.The second device had a better outcome but a complete seal was not achieved.Finally the second device was removed and a cross clamp was used to stop the blood flow, so the procedure could continue.Approximately 1 liter of blood was lost during this time.Aortic diameter and patient blood pressure were within the required range per the ifu.
