A stealth 360 peripheral orbital atherectomy device (oad) was used to treat a 70-80% stenosed right femoral artery.Two treatments on low speed, two treatments on medium speed, and one treatment on high speed were performed.During the last treatment, the oad stopped spinning and the tip of the driveshaft was fractured.While removing the oad and viperwire advance guide wire, it was observed that the tip of the guide wire was in vivo.Angiographic imaging was performed and revealed a perforation of the femoral vessel.Balloon angioplasty and stent placement were performed to resolve the perforation.A stent was placed to entrap the fractured driveshaft and guide wire in vivo.The patient was stable.
