Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a mildly tortuous chronic total occlusion of the right coronary artery.Thrombectomy was done and a 4.0 x 23 mm vision stent was implanted in the mid right coronary artery.Then, an attempt was made to implant a 5.0 x 18 mm ultra 9-cell stent proximally to the vision stent.However, the ultra 9-cell stent advanced too far and the stent dislodged from the balloon of its stent delivery system.Therefore, the ultra 9-cell stent migrated downwards to the posterior descending artery and the stent was crushed in this artery by a non-abbott balloon dilatation catheter.Then a 5.0 x 13 mm ultra 9-cell stent was advanced towards the right coronary artery; however, the stent was too bulky and it failed to cross the lesion due to the anatomy.Therefore, a 4.5 x 18 mm and a 4.5 x 13 mm ultra 9-cell stent were implanted to successfully complete the procedure.Timi 3 flow was achieved.There was no adverse patient sequela reported.No additional information was provided.
