It was reported that sudden cardiac arrest and death occurred.
Vascular access was obtained via the femoral artery.
A percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (ptca) was performed on an 80% stenosed target lesion in the non calcified, non tortuous left anterior descending artery (lad) and obtuse marginal (om).
Following predilatation, a 3.
00 x 38mm promus element long was deployed in the distal lad, a 3.
50 x 16mm promus element was deployed in the proximal lad, and a 3.
00 x 24mm promus element was deployed in the om.
After three hours of ptca, the patient had sudden cardiac arrest and died in the coronary care unit (ccu) due to a reason unknown.
