Event Description

A peripheral atherectomy procedure commenced to treat a severely calcified lesion in the mid popliteal region.A spectranetics turbo-elite laser atherectomy catheter was used to treat the patient.Three passes were made through the popliteal region successfully.Then, one pass was attempted in a tibial artery when the turbo-elite could not be advanced within the vasculature.During removal, it was observed that the distal marker band had detached within the patient.A balloon was used to retrieve the marker band, and a balloon angioplasty was performed to complete the case.The patient survived the procedure.This event captures the turbo elite distal marker band which separated, requiring intervention for retrieval.
