Event or Problem Description
|
|
On (b)(6) 2019, a 16mm amplatzer muscular vsd occluder was selected for implant.The procedure was complex as the patient's defect was very apical.There was also the presence of a pseudo-aneurysm located on the lateral wall of the vd (ventricle defect) and a litany of trabeculations.As the physician was getting ready to deploy the device and a pericardial effusion on the lateral side of the vd was noted.The physician quickly deployed the occluder and punctured the pericardium.220cc of blood was extracted and after 125 minutes, a pericardial drain was set in place and the bleeding stopped.The procedure took longer than anticipated.The patient is reported to be in stable condition.Manufacturer report number: 2135147-2019-00224.
