It was reported that the moderately tortuous and moderately calcified distal left anterior descending coronary artery was predilated with laser atherectomy.After post dilatation of the 3.0x28 absorb gt1 was performed, a perforation was noted.The 2.8x19 graftmaster stent delivery system (sds) was inserted, but unable to advance past the tortuous and calcified anatomy and the newly implanted gt1.Subsequent to the device interaction, the proximal shaft of the graftmaster sds separated.The guide catheter, guide wire, and sds were removed together as a unit.A new graftmaster sds was inserted to successfully cross the gt1 and treat the perforation.There was no adverse patient sequela.No additional information was provided.
