Event Description
|
It was reported the procedure was to treat an in-stent restenosis in the circumflex coronary artery.
The in-stent restenosis was treated with two balloon inflations.
While in the circumflex artery, a moderately calcified and moderately tortuous lesion was noted in the left anterior descending (lad) artery with intravascular ultrasound (ivus).
A trek rx 3 x 30mm balloon delivery catheter (bdc) was prepped (air aspiration) outside the anatomy and was then inserted and was inflated.
Then it was noted there was no flow in the circumflex artery and the patient experienced an increased heart rate and a drop in blood pressure.
The physician decided to remove the bdc; however, it was noted the balloon would not deflate and resistance was felt.
The balloon shaft was removed and it was observed the balloon had completely dislodged from the shaft and was observed in the left main coronary artery.
Shortly after this occurred, the patient coded and then passed away.
It was suspected this was caused by the dislodged bdc.
No additional information was provided.
