    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE PATIENT WAS UNDERGOING A THROMBECTOMY PROCEDURE IN THE RIGHT CAROTID ARTERY (RCA) USING AN INDIGO SYSTEM CATRX ASPIRATION CATHETER (CATRX) AND A GUIDEWIRE. DURING THE PROCEDURE, THE TECHNICIAN INADVERTENTLY KINKED THE DISTAL TIP OF THE CATRX WHILE ADVANCING IT OVER THE GUIDEWIRE THROUGH THE RAPID EXCHANGE PORT. THEREFORE, THE CATRX WAS REMOVED. THE PROCEDURE WAS COMPLETED USING ANOTHER CATRX, A STENT DEVICE, AND THE SAME GUIDEWIRE. THERE WAS NO REPORT OF AN ADVERSE EFFECT TO THE PATIENT.
