It was reported that the guidewire fractured.A 2.4 mm jetstream xc catheter was selected for an atherectomy procedure in an unspecified location of the superficial femoral artery (sfa).A non-bsc wire was used in conjunction with the jetstream.During the procedure, the jetstream became difficult to remove from the wire.Upon removing the jetstream from the wire, the wire fractured.A piece of the broken wire remained in the artery.It was then entirely removed from the artery with a forceps.At this point, the procedure was finished with a balloon and stent.The patient experienced no adverse effects and is fine.
