It was reported that on (b)(6) 2022, a procedure was performed to treat the bifurcation of the left anterior descending (lad) artery.
Three xience skypoint's were deployed without issues.
An additional skypoint was attempted to be inserted, but the physician noticed the stent became damage while pushing through the tuohy.
Therefore, the stent was removed and a balloon was inserted in an attempt to pass through the most proximal implanted stent.
However, the balloon was unable to pass through the stent and after roughly 30 minutes, it was observed the implanted stent had become completely occluded.
Clots were then observed at the occluded stent and in the left main.
It was noted no clotting occurred near the other two implanted stents.
Additional heparin was then administered.
Aspiration was performed and the clot was successfully removed.
However, the st elevation increased and the patient started to have chest pains.
The patient then became unresponsive and chest compressions were performed.
The patient was intubated and left the operating room on a ventilator.
On (b)(6) 2022, the patient passed away.
No additional information was provided.
