Event Description
|
It was reported that there was removal difficulty.The 80% stenosed target lesion was located in a moderately calcified and moderately tortuous distal superficial femoral artery.A 2.4mm jetstream xc atherectomy catheter was selected for the atherectomy procedure.During advancement, the 45cm non-boston scientific sheath kept buckling into the aorta, making it difficult to advance the jetstream xc atherectomy catheter.The catheter ended up kinking mid shaft and was difficult to remove over the wire.Once the catheter was removed intact, rotaglide was used to wipe down the wire.A second jetstream catheter was used to complete the procedure.There were no patient complications reported.
