The internal and external catheter became detached at the hub.Additional information received 05/13/2019: there was nothing unusual about the handling and no pressure injection was done on this case.We were attempting to cross a severely stenosed valve and it took about 30 minutes.The catheter separation was noticed at the middle of the case when we tried to flush the lumens with the manifold, only manual flush of the sidearm was done, it was then we noticed bubbles as we drew back on the tubing to purge the line.We also noticed that saline was dripping by the connection.A different langston catheter was used successfully to complete the procedure.No medical intervention was required.
