A diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was used in a procedure to treat a 90% stenosed, intermediately calcified lesion in the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (lad) via a femoral approach.The vessel was 3.5 mm in diameter with very mild tortuosity.Two treatment passes were performed on low speed, and the device was then switched to high speed.During the first treatment pass on high speed, the patient experienced chest pain.Treatment was stopped, and imaging identified a perforation in the lad, proximal to the lesion.It was noted that the treatment had been started just proximal to the lesion.The device was removed, and a covered stent was placed at the site of the perforation.A small-to-medium sized effusion was observed, however, no additional treatment was performed as the patient was asymptomatic.The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit in stable condition after the procedure for overnight observation.The patient was brought back to the cath lab overnight due to chest pain, and pericardiocentesis was performed.The patient passed away on (b)(6) 2020.The primary cause of death was reported to be the perforation to the lad that lead to cardiogenic shock.
