    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    A PATIENT WITH A NIHSS SCORE OF 17 AND BASELINE MTICI SCORE OF 0 WAS TREATED FOR A LEFT MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY OCCLUSION. A THIRD PARTY 8F SHEATH WAS USED FOR ACCESS. THE MILLIPEDE 088 CATHETER WAS NAVIGATED OVER A MILLIPEDE 070 CATHETER. THE MILLIPEDE CATHETERS WERE NAVIGATED OVER A THIRD PARTY MICROCATHETER AND GUIDEWIRE. IT WAS RECORDED THAT THE CLOT WAS CROSSED WITH THE THIRD PARTY MICROCATHETER AND GUIDEWIRE DURING EACH PASS. AFTER 3 PASSES, IT WAS NOTED THAT THERE WAS EMBOLIZATION OF CLOT TO THE LEFT ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY. A THIRD PARTY STENTRIEVER WAS USED IN COMBINATION WITH ASPIRATION FOR TWO SUBSEQUENT PASSES, BUT THE EMBOLUS COULD NOT BE RETRIEVED. THE FINAL MTICI SCORE AT THE END OF THE PROCEDURE WAS 2B. FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE, THE PATIENT RAPIDLY DETERIORATED AND THE PATIENT'S FAMILY DECLINED FURTHER CONTINUANCE OF CARE. THE PATIENT DIED 5 DAYS AFTER THE PROCEDURE. THE TREATING PHYSICIAN ATTRIBUTED THE DEATH TO THE SEVERITY OF THE STROKE AND THE PATIENT'S AGE. ACCORDING TO THE PHYSICIAN, THE STROKE WAS RAPIDLY EVOLVING TO A LARGER ISCHEMIC STROKE WHICH LED TO EARLY NEUROLOGICAL DETERIORATION DESPITE ARTERIAL RECANALIZATION.
