    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    SAME CASE AS MDR # 6000093-2006-01345. FACILITY MEDWATCH # AND PT IDENTIFIER UNIDENTIFIABLE, BLACKED OUT. IT WAS REPORTED VIA A FACILITY MEDWATCH FORM THAT THERE WAS TOTAL OCCLUSION OF THE CORONARY ARTERY. I SPOKE TO THE REPORTER OF THE FACILITY MEDWATCH AND RECEIVED THIS INFO. I CONFIRMED THE DATES OF THE INITIAL PROCEDURE AND THE INTERVENTION WITH THE FACILITY MEDWATCH REPORTER. IN THE INITIAL PROCEDURE TWO 2.5X16MM TAXUS EXPRESS2 STENTS WERE IMPLANTED IN THE LAD. THERE WERE NO COMPLICATIONS DURING THIS PROCEDURE. THE PT WAS DISCHARGED ON THE MEDICATIONS: TOPROL, PLAVIX, ZOCOR, ALTASE, ASPIRIN, AND NITROGLYCERIN. FOUR DAYS LATER THE PT ENTERED THE HOSP WITH CHEST PAIN AND THE PT WAS SENT FOR AN EMERGENT PTCA PROCEDURE. CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY REVEALED TOTAL OCCLUSION OF THE LAD. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO PASS THROUGH AND OPEN THE OCCLUSION USING GUIDEWIRES WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. AT THAT POINT THE PROCEDURE WAS ABORTED; THE PT WAS STABLE AND NO LONGER HAVING CHEST PAIN. A SURGERY CONSULT WAS DONE, HOWEVER, THE PT WAS DEEMED NOT A VIABLE OPERATIVE CANDIDATE AND IT WAS DECIDED TO TREAT THE PT MEDICALLY. THE PT WAS DISCHARGED ON THE MEDICATIONS: TOPROL (INCREASED DOSE), INSULIN, ASPIRIN, ALTASE, PLAVIX, AND ZOCOR. THE PHYSICIAN FELT THE THROMBOSIS WAS RELATED TO THE STENT.
