It was reported that a (b)(6)-year-old female patient underwent an atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (avrt)/ wolff-parkinson-white syndrome (wpw) ablation procedure with a thermocool® smart touch® sf bi-directional navigation catheter and a webster ® cs catheter with ez steer® technology and auto id and the patient suffered cardiac tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis.Towards the end of the case (post-ablation phase), the patient¿s blood pressure declined while pacing.The blood pressure raised back up to an acceptable level and the procedure continued.Post-testing with re-insertion of intracardiac echocardiography (ice), pericardial effusion was discovered by ultrasound ice.Cardiac tamponade was confirmed by ice and transthoracic echo (tte).Pericardiocentesis was performed and 320ml of fluid was removed from the pericardial space.The patient stayed overnight for monitoring.Patient condition improved, the physician said the patient remained stable.Physician¿s opinion regarding the cause of the adverse event is that it was procedure-related, he believed the event occurred during the manipulation of right ventricle (rv) or the coronary sinus (cs) catheters post-ablation.The rv catheter used was a st jude josephson quad (non-bwi product) transseptal puncture was performed with a st.Jude medical brk 98cm transseptal needle.There was no evidence of steam pop during the ablation.The catheter irrigation was set at 2ml, 8ml and 15ml.No error messages were observed on any bwi equipment.The force visualization features used included graph, dashboard, vector and visitag.The parameters for stability used with the visitag module were 2mm for 7 seconds, 25% at 2gms.No additional filter was used.The color option used prospectively was time (custom 10-30 seconds).It is the physician¿s opinion that the adverse event occurred during the manipulation of rv (non-bwi product) or cs catheter; however, since the cardiac tamponade was noticed after the ablation already had been performed with the thermocool® smart touch® sf bi-directional navigation catheter, the event will be conservatively coded and reported under both products (thermocool® smart touch® sf bi-directional navigation catheter and webster ® cs catheter with ez steer® technology and auto id).
