Pre-dilatation with a non-abbott balloon was performed in lad.Next, the dragonfly duo imaging catheter revealed a thrombus in lad.Additional stenting was performed with two non-abbott stents and follow up ballooning for stent malposition.The dragonfly duo imaging catheter was then used to assess lad and left main (lm).During this time, the patient's blood pressure dropped and the oct procedure was stopped.Cpr was initiated, medications were administered and the patient's blood pressure was revived back.The patient's pressure remained unchanged after 40-45 minutes of cpr and intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) insertion.The patient passed away.The physician does not believe the oct caused the adverse events.
