It was reported that prior to the procedure in which the promus stents were deployed, the patient underwent catheterization which revealed significant triple vessel coronary artery disease.In 2005, the patient had elective angioplasty of the saphenous vein graft (svg) to diagonal branch during which a non-abbott drug eluting stent was deployed.In 2008, the patient presented to hospital in cardiac arrest and complete heart block and catheterization revealed 99% stenosis of the svg to the diagonal branch.Percutaneous coronary intervention of the svg to the diagonal branch for proximal and distal stenoses was performed and a pacemaker was placed as arrhythmia was believed to be the cause of arrest.Two (2) promus stents were deployed, 1 in distal vein graft, 1 in proximal graft.In 2010, the right coronary artery proximal had a 100% occlusion, the left main distal 80-90% stenosis with calcification, and the left anterior descending artery had a 100% proximal occlusion.The circumflex artery was 100% proximally occluded and the saphenous vein graft to the diagonal branch had 99% in-stent restenosis of the distal promus stented segment.The in-stent restenosis was treated with the placement of a non-abbott stent.It was learned from the patients obituary that the patient died on (b)(6) 2012.No additional information was provided.
