    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT A PATIENT UNDERWENT A RIGHT SIDED IDIOPATHIC VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA ABLATION WITH A REPROCESSED SOUNDSTAR CATHETER AND THE PATIENT EXPERIENCED CARDIAC PERFORATION/PERICARDIAL EFFUSION THAT REQUIRED PERICARDIOCENTESIS. AFTER CREATING A CARTOSOUND MAP THEN MAPPING THE RV (RIGHT VENTRICLE) WITH THE QDOT CATHETER, THE PHYSICIAN NOTED THAT THE STERILMED SOUNDSTAR DID NOT LOOK LIKE IT WAS IN THE CORRECT PLACE, POSSIBLY PERFORATING THE RV. A PERICARDIAL EFFUSION WAS VISUALIZED USING THE STERILMED SOUNDSTAR CATHETER. A PERICARDIOCENTESIS WAS PERFORMED REMOVING 250 ML OF FLUID. THE PATIENT WAS STABLE. THE PROCEDURE WAS NOT COMPLETED. NO RF (RADIOFREQUENCY) OR TRANSSEPTAL WAS PERFORMED PRIOR TO THE EFFUSION. THE STERILMED DEVICE FUNCTIONED AS EXPECTED. PHYSICIAN¿S OPINION ON THE CAUSE OF THIS ADVERSE EVENT IS INTRACARDIAC ECHOCARDIOGRAM CATHETER (SOUNDSTAR) PERFORATION OF THE RV.
