Event Description

It was reported that the procedure was to treat the mid common carotid artery that did not have any tortuosity. A 190 cm emboshield nav6 embolic protection device (epd) was positioned, and pre-dilatation was performed with a 3. 0 x 20 mm nc trek balloon catheter. A non-abbott stent was then implanted, and post-dilatation was performed with a 5. 0 x 20 mm viatrac balloon catheter. A neurological test was done, and it was noted that the stent was occluded with thrombus or soft plaque, and there was an issue with the non-abbott stent reducing flow. The epd had captured embolis and was blocked. Therefore, the epd was aspirated and removed. The non-abbott stent was still reducing flow. A 30 x 9-7 mm xact stent was then implanted inside the non-abbott stent for support, and standard post-dilatation was performed with a 4. 0 x 20 mm viatrac balloon catheter. Another neurological test was done and the occlusion was still noted. It was not possible to aspirate as the occlusion was too distal; therefore, the patient was sent to the intensive care unit (icu) and anticoagulation was performed. No additional information was provided.
