It was reported that the patient underwent an initial four (4) level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion procedure at c3 to c7 using two anterior interbodies and an anterior plate system and a posterior cervical fixation from c3 to c7 using a competitor posterior interbody and screw system.During the procedure, after the anterior portion of the procedure was completed and during closure of the anterior site, it was noted that the patient coded and was able to be revived.Subsequently, while in the process of flipping the patient from anterior to posterior, approximately 10 minutes after closure of the anterior site, the patient suffered a cardiac arrest and was unable to be revived.It was believed that the patient may have experienced a pulmonary embolus during the flip maneuver.No complications were noted during the anterior portion of the procedure.No further information was available.
