    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE PATIENT WAS UNDERGOING A THROMBECTOMY PROCEDURE IN THE ANTERIOR TIBIAL ARTERY USING AN INDIGO SYSTEM CATRX ASPIRATION CATHETER (CATRX), A 7F NON-PENUMBRA SHEATH, AND A GUIDEWIRE. DURING THE PROCEDURE, THE CATRX WAS ADVANCED OVER THE GUIDEWIRE THROUGH THE GUIDEWIRE LUMEN AND THE SHEATH. WHILE ADVANCING THE CATRX OVER THE AORTIC BIFURCATION, THE CATRX KINKED AT THE MID-SHAFT; THEREFORE, THE CATRX WAS REMOVED. THE PROCEDURE WAS COMPLETED USING ANOTHER CATRX AND THE SAME GUIDEWIRE. THERE WAS NO REPORT OF AN ADVERSE EFFECT TO THE PATIENT.
