ON (B)(6) 2016, AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO TREAT THE PERFORATION USING A 4.0X26 RX GRAFTMASTER COVERED STENT SYSTEM, HOWEVER, THIS DEVICE FAILED TO CROSS TO THE PERFORATION DUE TO THE ANGULATED VESSEL GRAFT AND PREVIOUSLY IMPLANTED STENT. THE GRAFTMASTER WAS WITHDRAWN AND THE PERFORATION WAS TREATED WITH BALLOON TAMPONADE, BUT THE PERFORATION STILL WOULD NOT SEAL. SUBSEQUENT HYPOTENSION REQUIRED MEDICATION INTUBATION. THE PATIENT WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE OPERATING ROOM TO PERFORM CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT (CABG) SURGERY AND SEAL OFF THE PERFORATED VESSEL, BUT THE PATIENT WENT INTO CARDIOGENIC SHOCK, THEN CARDIAC ARREST IN THE OR AFTER ANESTHESIA ADMINISTRATION, BUT PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY SURGICAL INTERVENTION. THE PATIENT WAS PLACED ON LIFE SUPPORT WITH CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) AND MEDICATION. PER FAMILY DISCUSSION, CARE WAS WITHDRAWN AND THE PATIENT EXPIRED THE SAME DAY DUE TO THE RESULTANT CARDIOGENIC SHOCK AND CARDIAC ARREST THAT OCCURRED FROM THE PERFORATION. PERICARDIAL EFFUSION WAS SUSPECTED BUT NOT CONFIRMED DUE TO THE DECISION TO WITHDRAW LIFE SUPPORT. IN THE OPINION OF THE PHYSICIAN, USE OF THE GRAFTMASTER DID NOT CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO THE PATIENT DEATH IN ANY WAY. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED.
