Event Description
|
It was reported that a mechanical thrombectomy using the subject device was performed to treat the left internal carotid artery (ica) occlusion due to an atherothrombosis.Complete revascularization of the left ica was achieved after the first pass with the retrieval device with a thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (tici) score of 2b.However, 1.5 hours after the procedure, a cerebral infarction due to the lesion re-stenosis was noted in the treated area.The cause of the lesion re-stenosis was likely atherosclerotic plaque.Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) was performed to treat the vessel occlusion and subsequent cerebral infarction and the patient was reportedly "recovered but not completely".In the physician's opinion, the cerebral infarction was not related to the device and /or procedure.Thirty six days post procedure, the patient died from the stomach cancer.The patient's death was not related to the index procedure and/or devices used.
