Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a calcified de novo left main (lm) artery.The right coronary artery was also totally occluded.Pre-dilatation was done with a 3.0x15mm non-abbott balloon.A 3.50x15mm xience sierra stent was implanted in the lm.Post-dilatation was done with a 3.5x12mm non-abbott balloon.The intra-aortic balloon pump was removed.After the patient was returned to the ward, the patient's condition deteriorated suddenly as the patient experienced respiratory discomfort and cardiac arrest occurred.It was confirmed via angiography that a thrombotic occlusion occurred where the stent was deployed.Thrombus aspiration and balloon angioplasty were performed to recanalize.Respiratory discomfort, ventricular fibrillation, and cardiac arrest occurred, then the patient died.Per the physician, the thrombosis was not related to the xience sierra stent nor did the xience sierra cause or contribute to the death.No additional information was provided.
