The results of the investigation are inconclusive since the reported device was not returned for analysis.Based on the information received, the cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined.The device history record for this oad lot number has been reviewed.No issues or discrepancies were noted during this review that would have contributed to the reported event.The device met material, assembly, and quality control requirements prior to distribution.The diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy system instructions for use manual states that pseudoaneurysm is a potential adverse event that may occur and/or require intervention.Csi id: (b)(4).

Following an nstemi and surgical denial, a percutaneous coronary intervention procedure was performed to treat a calcified circumflex and a chronic total occlusion in the right coronary artery (rca).A diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was advanced, and five treatment passes were performed on low speed; however, the oad would not cross the lesion.During treatment, complex anatomy resulted in lack of support from the flex tip viperwire guide wire.The oad driveshaft and saline sheath became prolapsed against the wall of the left main (lm), and the oad stalled.The oad was removed, and a balloon was inserted; however, the balloon would not cross the lesion.The balloon was inflated one time proximal to the lesion and was removed.A guide catheter was inserted to provide support, and the balloon was reinserted; however, it would again not cross the lesion.A viperwire guide wire advance without flex tip was inserted for added support, the oad crossed the lesion, and additional treatment was performed in the circumflex artery (cx).Angiography was then performed for the first time during the procedure (due to the creatinine levels of the patient), and a pseudoaneurysm was noted in the lm.The patient was unaffected hemodynamically, and no treatment was performed to address the pseudoaneurysm.Stents were placed in the cx and proximal left anterior descending artery.Following the procedure, the patient was in stable condition and remained intubated following the prior nstemi.The pseudoaneurysm remained under observation.Per the opinion of the physician, the cause of the pseudoaneurysm was unknown, however the prolapse of the oad likely contributed.
