Additional information was received on 11/12/2019, indicating that the patient's death is related to left main closure due to the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (tavr) valve leaflets covering the left main ostium.The xience sierra stent was implanted to open the vessel and the patient was then taken to the intensive care unit (icu).The patient then went into cardiopulmonary arrest.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated and the patient was returned to the cath lab.Coronary angiography noted thrombus in the implanted xience sierra stent and a second xience sierra stent was implanted.Advanced cardiac life support continued during the second procedure, for approximately 1 hour, until the patient passed away.No additional information was provided.
