Event or Problem Description

|
A shockwave c2 coronary intravascular lithotripsy (ivl) catheter was used to treat a lesion in the left anterior descending artery.The procedure was completed successfully, followed by stenting.The patient was discharged from the hospital the next day.In that same afternoon, the patient was transported to the hospital again with cardiopulmonary arrest (cpa).Images showed that the lad stent was occluded and in a state of spontaneous awakening trials (sat).After the cpa urgent procedure was conducted, a left ventricular (lv) rupture and pericardial fluid occurred.The patient expired that night.The physician did not deny the causal relationship completely between ivl and the patient's death but also thinks other factors may be more significant.Lesion #6 was treated with the ivl catheter and stent.Lesion #7 was treated with a balloon catheter (bc) and stent.About 75 % stenosis remained distal to the stent in lesion #7.However, the 75 % stenosis was very tiny, so the physician decided not to treat the site and left it as it was.The physician believes this might have been related to the event.
