The oad was received for analysis.Dried, adhered fluid and suspected corrosion was observed on the driveshaft and crown.Examination of the area of adhered fluid did no reveal any damage.A guide wire was passed through the area with no resistance, so this is not considered a contributing factor in the reported event.No additional damage was observed on the oad.The oad was tested and functioned as intended with no abnormalities observed.Review of the downloaded device data did not reveal any issue with the oad that would have contributed to the reported events.At the conclusion of the device analysis, the reported events were unable to be conclusively confirmed.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.(b)(4).Csi id# (b)(4).

A diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was selected for treatment of a lesion in the left anterior descending coronary artery (lad).The lad was moderately tortuous with 90% calcified stenosis in the mid to mid-distal lad.The lesion was wired with a non-csi guide wire with some difficulty, and an exchange was performed for the viperwire guide wire.The oad was advanced to the lesion using glideassist.Two treatments on low speed were performed.The oad was then advanced using glideassist to the mid/distal area of the lesion.Four treatments on low speed were performed, and no vessel issues were observed.The oad was repositioned to the mid-proximal lesion area, and two treatments were performed.The oad was removed, and a perforation was observed in the lad.The patient presented with mild shortness of breath.Balloon angioplasty and stent deployment were performed, but the perforation was not contained.An effusion was present.Additional balloon angioplasty and stenting were performed, and the perforation was contained.The lad was observed on imaging to be patent, however, diagonal and septal branches could no longer be seen via imaging.Pericardiocentesis was unsuccessful.The patient presented with pulseless ventricular tachycardia.Defibrillation was successful, resulting in sinus bradycardia with hypotension, and vasopressors were administered.Pericardiocentesis was again unsuccessful.The patient went into sinus tachycardia with no blood pressure, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) was performed.The patient was intubated.The non-csi guide catheter was reinserted, and thrombosis was observed.Balloon angioplasty was performed.No flow was observed in the lad, and a thrombectomy was performed; however, no flow was still observed.After 30 minutes, there was no return of spontaneous circulation, cpr was discontinued, and the patient expired.In the opinion of the physician, the primary cause of death was acute stent thrombosis in the lad status post pulseless ventricular tachycardia while attempting pericardiocentesis, and the secondary cause of death was cardiac tamponade due to perforation.It was noted the patient had been appropriately heparinized prior to the procedure, and additional heparin was administered during the procedure.In the opinion of the physician, the lad had thrombosed during the initial event of pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
