During a peripheral atherectomy procedure using a csi diamondback orbital atherectomy device (oad), the device became stuck in the patient and surgical removal was required.Following successful treatment of a lesion in the anterior tibial artery (at), the oad was advanced to treat a second lesion in the dorsalis pedis artery.During treatment of this lesion, no abnormal sound was heard which would indicate the device had become stuck, however resistance was felt during the treatment.It was reported that the physician pushed forward through the resistance instead of stopping treatment per the product instructions for use (ifu) warning.When treatment was completed and the device was pulled back for removal, the control knob pulled forward and the device was unable to be removed.It was suspected that the control knob may not have been locked prior to device removal, however this could not be confirmed.Nitroglycerin was administered, however due to the low blood pressure of the patient it was discontinued.Multiple attempts were made to resolve the issue.The device was pulled in attempt to remove it, however the patient presented with groin pain.The oad driveshaft was cut in an attempt to advance the shaft over the crown to dislodge it, however due to vessel spasm the shaft would not advance.An ambulance was called and the patient was transferred to a hospital where they underwent cut down surgery to remove the device.The patient was discharged in stable condition following the surgical procedure.
