A stealth orbital atherectomy device (oad) was used to treat a mildly calcified, 6mm lesion in the superficial femoral artery (sfa).After two low-speed treatments, blood was observed to be backing up in the saline tubing of the oad, and the saline was not flowing as anticipated by observing the flow in the saline sheath.The flow was sufficient to avoid patient injury, however, the device was removed.There were no further complications, and the patient was in stable condition.
