During a procedure with a coronary diamondback orbital atherectomy device (oad), the oad was operated in a stent and the stent fractured in the patient.The oad was operated in the peroneal artery and balloon angioplasty was performed with no issues observed.The balloon was re-positioned towards the arterial tibial artery (at) and was unable to cross the proximal side of the at.Intravascular ultrasound (ivus) was performed and the oad was operated for one treatment until it powered down and was removed, and it was noted that it had been operated in a preexisting stent.The stent had fractured into three fragments.Attempts with balloon angioplasty and a non-csi support catheter were made to retrieve the stent fragments, but were unsuccessful and the case was aborted.The patient was stable and had better flow post procedure.It is planned for the patient to have an additional procedure.The physician had placed the stent in a previous procedure, but due to the fact that it was a coronary stent in the peripheral vasculature, it was not clearly visible during imaging.
