Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a perforation in the saphenous vein graft that was noted after stenting with a 3.5x38 mm non-abbott stent.The 4.0x26 mm graftmaster covered stent was advanced over the wire and into the proximal vein graft; however, there was significant resistance and the stent could not cross to treat the perforation.During removal there was resistance when pulling the grastmaster into the guiding catheter.During this time, dopamine infusion was started, a periocardiocentesis tray was opened and echocardiogram performed suggested there was not significant effusion.Next, a 3.5x20 mm non-abbott stent was inserted into the vein graft and inflated, and angiogram showed persistent active extravasation of dye.The balloon was removed and a 6fr guideliner was inserted to assist with delivery of the 4.0x19 mm graftmaster; however, it was not able to cross to treat the perforation.The patient was sent to surgery and the patient expired.No additional information was provided.
