It was reported that on (b)(6) 2022, an emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) procedure was performed on a patient with acute myocardial infarction who was taken from a different hospital.Complete occlusion on right coronary artery (rca), left circumflex (lcx), and acute coronary syndrome (acs) due to the heavy stenosis on left anterior descending (lad) artery were noted.Thrombectomy was performed on the lad.After intravascular ultrasound (ivus) and plain old balloon angioplasty (poba), pre-dilatation was performed on the proximal lad.The 3.5x23 mm xience skypoint stent delivery system (sds) and 3.0x33mm xience skypoint sds were deployed at the proximal lad and the mid lad.Calcification in the distal left circumflex (lcx) with 100% stenosis, lesion length 35mm, lesion radius 2.5mm and tortuosity and heavy calcification in the proximal lcx with 100% stenosis, lesion length 10mm, lesion radius 2.75mm were noted.A non-abbott guide wire and guiding catheter were inserted into lcx.After pre-dilatation by a non-abbott balloon catheter at lcx, a non-abbott stent was deployed at the proximal lcx and distal lcx, without post-dilatation.The stent expansion was confirmed by imaging.The patient was taken into critical care unit (ccu).On (b)(6) 2022, sudden changes occurred in the patient¿s condition and went into cardiac arrest.Occlusion occurred from ostia of lad and lcx due to thrombosis and was confirmed by imaging.Under intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp), the lesions were dilated with a balloon catheter, but the patient died due to a fall in blood pressure.According to the physician who performed the procedure, the cause of thrombosis was unknown.Medications were administered.No additional information was provided.

The device was not returned for evaluation.A review of the lot history record and complaint history of the reported lot could not be conducted because the lot number was not provided.The reported patient effects of thrombosis and hypotension are listed in the xience skypoint, everolimus eluting coronary stent system (eecss), electronic instructions for use as known patient effects of coronary stenting procedures.A conclusive cause for the reported patient effects, and the relationship to the product, if any, cannot be determined; however, the reported treatment appears to be related to the operational context of the procedure.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.The additional skypoint device is being filed under a separate medwatch report number.
