A diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was selected for a high risk case that included treatment of a lesion in the left main and proximal left anterior descending (lad) coronary arteries.The vessels were 3.0 to 4.0 mm in diameter with minimal tortuosity.After the fourth treatment, the device stopped spinning, and a perforation was observed in the lad.A drug eluting stent was placed to stop the bleeding, but it was not successful.The perforation was then treated with a covered stent, which was also unsuccessful.The left circumflex artery was jailed with a second covered stent to resolve the perforation.The patient's right coronary artery was a cto that had been fed by the left circumflex.As the left circumflex was jailed with the covered stent, the left circumflex and right coronary artery no longer had blood flow.The patient coded, and cpr was administered.The patient expired.The opinion of the physician was that the death was caused by ischemia.
