Event Description

It was reported that patient was presented to physician for ejection fraction of 55% dropping to 15%.During high risk percutaneous coronary intervention, the physician made the decision to leave the peel away sheath in the patient's anatomy during support with the impella device.This was done to prevent risk of losing proper positioning of the impella.As a result, the patient's leg became ischemic and the introducer was removed.There was no particular malfunction reported with the device reported, just that patient endured ischemia due to introducer remaining in access site during impella support.To resolve ischemia, physician removed the introducer.Introducer was removed and pump was ultimately removed.No new pump was inserted and patient continued support via inotropic medication.Patient outcome is stable.1 device was planned to introduce on the introducer.
