It was reported elevated cardiac enzymes and myocardial infarction occurred.The patient was on a prior regimen of aspirin (>= 72 hours) and antiplatelet medication other than aspirin (>= 72 hours).At the time of the procedure, the patient received heparin or other antithrombotic medication.The 2.75 mm x 28 mm target lesion located in the main branch of the proximal left anterior descending vessel (lad) was pretreated with three devices using the largest balloon diameter of 2.5 mm x 12 mm wolverine cutting balloon, semi-compliant balloon angioplasty catheter and non-compliant balloon angioplasty catheter resulting in 30% residual stenosis and timi flow of 3.The lesion was then successfully treated with the 2.75 mm x 32 mm synergy xd drug eluting stent achieving 0% residual stenosis with timi flow of 3.A balloon angioplasty catheter (ptca dilatation catheter) and a non-complaint balloon was used for post dilation as ancillary devices.The 2.5 mm x 20 mm target lesion located in the side branch of the 1st diagonal vessel was pretreated with three devices using the largest balloon diameter of 2.5 mm x 15 mm wolverine cutting balloon, semi-compliant balloon angioplasty catheter and non-compliant balloon angioplasty catheters resulting in 10% residual stenosis and timi flow of 3.The lesion was then successfully treated with the 2.5 mm x 24 mm synergy xd drug eluting stent achieving 0% residual stenosis with timi flow of 3.A 2.75 mm non-complaint balloon was used for post dilation as an ancillary device.At the 3-6-hour time interval post procedure the biomarkers revealed troponin i hs level of 29.44 ng/l (within reference range) and troponin t hs level of 34.90 ng/l (elevated from reference range).During the 18-24-hour post procedure lab draw, results demonstrated increase in the troponin i hs level to 796.36 ng/l (upper limit normal (uln): 47 ng/l) and more than five times increase in the troponin t hs level to 93.20 ng/l (upper limit normal (uln): 14 ng/l).The elevation met the criteria for myocardial infarction.The patient discharged from the hospital with the continuation of aspirin and started clopidogrel.
