Event Description

It was reported that on (b)(6) 2017, the procedure was to treat a heavily calcified lesion in the moderately tortuous left internal carotid artery (lica).An emboshield nav6 lg 190cm embolic protection system (eps) was advanced past the lesion without issue.A 5x20x135 rx viatrac balloon was advanced and inflated without difficulty when, during inflation, the patient breathing became notably very labored then patient become totally unresponsive neurologically.No thrombus was noted, but a stroke was confirmed to have occurred.An 8tx40x136 xact stent was then successfully deployed, as planned, resulting in good flow and good overall result, as confirmed angiographically and on computerized tomography scan.The nav6 was retrieved without difficulty.No interventions were performed.While there were no device issues, the patient neurological deficit remains and patient remains comatose (but not intubated) and, as of (b)(6) 2017, is not expected to recover in the near future.No additional information was provided.
