(b)(6) study.It was reported that post a stenting treatment procedure, the patient experienced myocardial infarction and ventricular tachycardia.In (b)(6) 2016 the patient presented with stable angina (ccs classification-2) and was further referred for cardiac catheterization.On the same day, the index procedure was performed.Target lesion #1 was located in the mid right coronary artery (rca) (cass site #2) with 75% stenosis and was 8 mm long with a reference vessel diameter of 3.5 mm.Target lesion #1 was treated with direct placement of a 3.50 x 12 mm study stent with 0% residual stenosis.Target lesion #2 was located in the mid left anterior descending artery (lad) (cass site #13) with 85% stenosis and was 12 mm long with a reference vessel diameter of 2.5 mm.Target lesion #2 was treated with pre-dilatation and placement of a 2.50 x 16 mm study stent.Following post dilatation, residual stenosis was 0%.Two hours post index procedure, the subject was noted to have non-persistent ventricular tachycardia, with thoracic complaints and electrocardiogram (ecg) revealed temporary st segment elevations.The subject was further recommended for repeat angiography.Coronary angiography revealed good outcome in the lesion treated.However, small occlusion in the second diagonal branch originating from the stent that is deployed in mid lad and moderate grade stenosis in the transitional area from the mid to distal lad were noted.Intervention was not required in either of the cases.On the same day, the non-persistent ventricular tachycardia was considered by the hospital to be resolved.One day later, cardiac enzyme levels were noted to be elevated and the myocardial infarction was considered by the hospital to be resolved.Three days post index procedure, the subject was discharged on aspirin and clopidogrel.
