InjurySep 10, 2026Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem
It was reported that during an Aveir DR implant procedure on a congenital patient, the physician elected to start the procedure with the right atrium leadless pacemaker (RALP). The RALP was released at the target location. When attempting to manipulate the right ventricle leadless pacemaker (RVLP) with the delivery catheter into the RV, the catheter mechanically dislodged the fixed RALP. The RALP embolized in the left femoral artery. The physician inserted an introducer and retrieval catheter into the patient's right femoral artery and snared the RALP. The RALP was pulled toward the introducer but met resistance in the right femoral artery. Under fluoroscopy, contrast arteriograms showed a laceration in the right femoral artery between the introducer and the RALP. Vascular surgery was initiated to retrieve the RALP and repair the vessel. The patient was stable throughout the surgery and is recovering.
