It was reported the procedure was a high risk percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) to treat a heavily calcified lesion in the left anterior descending (lad) artery, with additional disease noted in the circumflex and right coronary artery, which was totally occluded.An impella device was placed, then pre-dilatation was performed.A 2.5x23mm alpine stent was deployed in the mid to proximal lad and another 2.5x23mm alpine stent was deployed in the left main (lm).Intravascular ultrasound (ivus) was performed and then post-dilatation was performed on both alpine stents with a 2.75 balloon.The stents were confirmed to be well apposed to the vessel wall and the procedure was completed at this time.However, after several minutes, the patient experienced bradycardia, coded and then expired.The physician does not believe there was in-stent thrombosis due to the lack of st elevation.No autopsy was performed.No additional information was provided.
