Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a lesion in the moderately calcified, moderately tortuous, 90% stenosed distal left anterior descending coronary artery.A whisper ms guide wire crossed the lesion, a 2x15mm trek balloon was used for pre-dilatation, and a 2.25x23mm xience sierra stent was implanted without issue.As an unspecified pressure wire was advanced, the whisper guide wire may have accidentally advanced and perforated the vessel, so medication was used as treatment.The patient's blood pressure decreased, so pericardiocentesis and an intra-aortic balloon pump were used.The patient went into cardiac arrest and expired that same day(b)(6) 2020.In the opinion of the physician, the use of these abbott devices did not cause or contribute to the patient death in any way.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.In the opinion of the physician, the use of these devices did not cause or contribute to complications or adverse events.No additional information was provided.
