It was reported that embolism occurred.The 95% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and severely calcified distal superficial femoral artery (sfa).A 2.4mm jetstream xc was selected for use.After using a 1.6mm jetstream sc, contrast imaging confirmed there were no problems with blood flow.After using the 2.4mm jetstream xc, the pta was occluded.The amount of calcification that was cut, was larger than expected.The pta was crossed with a jupiter s6 guidewire.Suctioned was performed with a non-boston scientific device to capture the calcification that could not be captured with a filter.Inflation was then performed using a 2.0 - 120 non-boston scientific balloon to confirm the reperfusion flow.The jetstream was removed as usual.The procedure was completed successfully.
