A shockwave c2+ coronary intravascular lithotripsy (ivl) catheter was used to treat a denovo lesion with nodular calcium in the left anterior descending artery (lad).After 40 pulses were delivered, the balloon lost pressure.Post ivl, a cutting/scoring balloon was used followed by the placement of a drug eluting stent (des).The procedure was finished successfully, and the drug eluting stents were implanted as intended.The patient, who had triple vessel disease and diabetes, passed away post-procedure.It was reported that the patient may have lost septal flow, which was supporting the right coronary artery (rca).The physician performed a percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) before the patient expired.The patient did not pass away immediately after the ivl treatment and showed only slight chest pain when the septal flow decreased.The patient expired during recovery.The access site was femoral and the interval between the ivl treatment and the patient's death is unknown.The cause of the death is unknown.It was reported that the patient had multiple co-morbidities and the death was not related to the pci procedure.
