A diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) and viperwire guide wire were selected for treatment of lesion in the left main artery.Four treatments were administered with imaging performed after each pass.During the first treatment pass on high speed, the oad jumped forward and pulled the wire into the circumflex artery.The patient complained of chest pain, and the device and wire were removed.A vessel perforation had occurred in the mid circumflex (cx) artery.Balloon angioplasty and multiple stent placements were performed to resolve the perforation.The patient transferred to the intensive care unit in stable condition and was expected to recover.In the opinion of the physician, the perforation was caused by the viperwire guide wire being pulled into the cx when the oad jumped.
