Event or Problem Description
A peripheral vascular intervention procedure commenced.The physician was using a spectranetics turbo elite laser atherectomy catheter to treat a left popliteal lesion from a pedal access site.The laser impacted the distal cap of the occlusion; however, instead of crossing the lesion, the turbo elite unintentionally deflected off of the plaque and created a subintimal channel which then went submedial.The case was then aborted with no additional intervention required.There was no alleged malfunction of any spectranetics devices used in the procedure.Upon further investigation of this event and with consultation from philips senior medical advisor on (b)(6) 2020 to discuss the case detail of subintimal and submedial channels being created by the turbo elite device, it was concluded that although there are procedures performed in which channels are created in this vessel space in order to restore blood flow, this was an unplanned event.Although there was no patient injury in this event, this report is being submitted due to the potential for serious injury if this event was to recur.
