Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure to treat a lesion in the p1 segment of the posterior cerebral artery (pca) using a penumbra system jetd kit.It was noted that the patient¿s anatomy was very tortuous and with very thin arteries.During the procedure, while advancing the penumbra system jetd reperfusion catheter (jetd) through a neuron max 6f 088 long sheath (neuron max), the physician experienced resistance and was unable to track the jetd through the non-dominant vertebral artery due to the tortuosity of the vessel.Therefore, the jetd was removed.The procedure was completed using a new jetd and the same neuron max.It is unknown if there was any adverse effect to the patient.
