Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a mildly tortuous, mildly calcified left anterior descending artery that was chronically occluded.
After advancing and removing a 2.

Another xience alpine stent was used to successfully complete the procedure.
There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.
No additional information was provided.
