Event Description
|
The patient had two endeavor stents implanted during a procedure.Approximately 1-month post procedure the cardiologist confirmed one of the stents had closed up.Possible bypass is planned in the near future.No further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.Asking how long her coronary stents were supposed to last.I told her they stay in place for the duration of her lifetime.She then stated that her cardiologist told her one of them "closed up".Caller had a cath done "about a month ago".I let her know that the blockage is not necessarily due to the presence of the stent and patency can vary from patient to patient based on anatomy, lifestyle and other factors such as her clotting anomaly.Caller understood and wanted to confirm there were no recalls she may have missed.
