[68186510] It was reported that a patient was presented in a life-threatening condition with a basilar thrombotic stroke and neurological deficit. Access to the clot was limited to the right vertebral artery (va) that presented a critical stenosis of the va-distal v4 segment. Left vertebral artery was occluded and not accessible. Angioplasty with a first balloon catheter of the stenosis of va-v4 segment led to dissection resulting in hematoma and occlusion. Medical intervention in order to restore blood flow through the occluded va- v4 segment by angioplasty was performed without success. Then, stenting of the va-v4 segment with a first stent was performed. However, the distal stent tines did not open properly even with additional angioplasty procedure with a second balloon catheter (subject device). Blood flow was not restored. A second stent was attempted to be implanted but could not be deployed beyond the poorly opened distal tines of the first deployed stent. A third stent was deployed more distally in the basilar artery and overlapping the original stent. The stent was only placed with great difficulty through the first stent. There was some bending of the hypotube but it did not render the stent unusable. Blood flow was not restored and injection of platelet aggregation inhibitor into the occluded vessel as well as additional angioplasty with the second balloon was performed. The stent tines and the stents were eventually correctly opened but blood flow was not restored. The physician reported that he would have strongly preferred to use a different size balloon catheter but due to the emergency nature of the procedure, a more appropriately sized balloon was not available. Two days post procedure, the patient was determined to be in "coma" and pronounced dead shortly after. In the physician? S opinion,? The outcome prognosis without the intervention was poor, with death as a possibility. The procedure did not help the patient and may have made him worse. The patient's death is not specifically related to any of the devices?.

[73042616] Reportability rationale correction: based on the additional information received, it is confirmed that the second gateway was not responsible for any adverse event, however the device was used to perform the additional angioplasty to treat the vessel dissection. In the physician? S opinion, the patient? S outcome was poor without the medical intervention with the possibility of death. The procedure did not help the patient and may have made him worse. The patient's death is not specifically related to any of the devices. Initially? Coma? And? Death? Were assigned to the second gateway balloon (mfr report # 0002134265-2017-30003). However, since there was no allegation of adverse event against the second gateway balloon, this event does not meet the criteria of a complaint anymore. The manufacturer has reviewed all information and determined this event no longer meets the requirement of the reportable event for the device in question.
