It was reported that the patient died.The 90% stenosed, moderately tortuous and severely calcified target lesion was located in the left anterior descending artery.A 3.00 x 24 promus premier select was advanced in an attempt to cross the "tight" lesion, but prior to deployment the patient developed ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation followed by cardiac arrest.Despite several resuscitation attempts, the patient could not be revived and expired during treatment.Per physician, the death was unrelated to implantation of the 3.00 x 24 promus premier select.
