New Orleans, LA. – A 50-year-old man was medevaced by the Coast Guard from a vessel located 35 miles south of Grand Isle, Louisiana on Monday.

Coast Guard Sector New Orleans watchstanders received a call early morning around 4:58 a.m. from the vessel’s operating manager who requested help for a passenger suffering from chest pain.

To provide assistance, watchstanders coordinated the launch of an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew from Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans.

The man is currently reported to be in stable condition.
