A diamondback 360 peripheral orbital atherectomy device (oad) was used to treat a lesion in the right anterior tibial artery.A low-speed treatment was performed and at approximately 10cm of the axial crown travel, there was an unusual noise and treatment was stopped.The physician attempted to re-start treatment and applied glideassist, however, they were unable to advance.The physician believed the viperwire advance guide wire was the issue.The physician removed the viperwire and observed a small bend, which led to a replacement of the viperwire.Another low-speed treatment was performed and at the same location as the first treatment, another unusual noise was heard.The physician had difficulty removing the oad.Glideassist was utilized to assist in removal of the oad.The physician observed a small fiber of unknown material around the distal tip of the oad.The oad was replaced with a new oad.A low-speed treatment was performed and at the same location as the first two treatments, an unusual noise was heard.At the end of the atherectomy procedure, angiography showed blood extravasation on the beginning of the distal third portion of the right anterior tibial artery.The physician completed the procedure with balloon angioplasty.The patient was in stable condition.
