    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    EVAR WAS PERFORMED ON (B)(6) 2016. DEATH DUE TO THE DAMAGED LEFT COMMON ILIAC ARTERY BY A MANIPULATION OF THE CONTRA-LATERAL LIMB DELIVERY SYSTEM DURING THE PROCEDURE. A MAIN BODY (HBB-24-96-80-12) WAS INSERTED BY THE LEFT APPROACHING FOLLOWING THE IFU. THEN, THE MAIN BODY DEVICE WAS DEPLOYED TOWARD THE CONTRA-LATERAL GATE. AFTER RELEASING THE SUPPORT TUBE, AN IPSI-LATERAL LIMB WAS DEPLOYED. AFTER OBSERVING A BIFURCATION OF THE LEFT INTERNAL ILIAC ARTERY WITH USE OF AN ANGIOGRAPHIC CATHETER FROM THE CONTRA-LATERAL SIDE, THE PHYSICIAN INSERTED A HBL-56-16 DELIVERY SYSTEM SIMULTANEOUSLY WHEN REMOVING THE MAIN BODY DELIVERY SYSTEM. IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT AN INSERTION OF THE DELIVERY SYSTEM BECAME DIFFICULT WHEN APPROXIMATELY 10 MM OF A PROXIMAL END PORTION OF THE HBL-56-16 DEVICE ENTERED INTO A DISTAL END OF THE IPSI-LATERAL LIMB OF THE MAIN BODY. BECAUSE THE PHYSICIAN WANTED TO OVERLAP THE DEVICE AT LEAST MORE THAN 20 MM INSIDE THE IPSI-LATERAL LIMB OF THE MAIN BODY, HE PUSHED UP THE DELIVERY SYSTEM FORCEFULLY. THEREAFTER, A SHAFT OF THE DELIVERY SYSTEM WAS EXCESSIVELY KINKED IN THE BLOOD VESSEL. EVEN AFTER THIS EVENT, HE CONTINUED PUSHING THE DELIVERY SYSTEM FORCEFULLY. THEN, THE PATIENT'S BLOOD PRESSURE DRAMATICALLY DECREASED. THEREAFTER, THE PATIENT WAS STARTED TO BE TREATED WITH BLOOD TRANSFUSION. WHEN PULLING BACK THE DELIVERY SYSTEM DISTALLY, AN ASSISTANT PHYSICIAN REMOVED A GUIDE WIRE BY MISTAKE. THEN, THEY ATTEMPTED TO ADVANCE THE GUIDE WIRE PROXIMALLY AGAIN, BUT IT WOULD ADVANCE ONLY TO THE DIRECTION WHICH SEEMED TO BE OUTSIDE THE BLOOD VESSEL. THEN, SUDDENLY, AN ELECTROCARDIOGRAM WAVEFORM DETERIORATED. AROUND 11:30 AM, THEY INITIATED APPLYING CARDIAC MASSAGE TO THE PATIENT. FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS, THEY CONTINUED A TREATMENT WITH BLOOD TRANSFUSION AND CARDIAC MASSAGE TO THE PATIENT. THE PATIENT HAS PASSED AWAY AT 13:20.
