Orbital atherectomy was selected for treatment of heavily calcified lesions in a patient with a preexisting aneurysm in the left anterior descending artery (lad).Three treatment passes with a diamondback peripheral orbital atherectomy device (oad) were administered distal-to-proximal in the lad.The treatments were performed distal to the aneurysm site.Angiography was performed and revealed that the initial treatments were not effective; four additional treatment passes were performed at high speed.Due to physician technique, treatment was inadvertently administered in a more proximal location than intended.This resulted in treatment of the aneurysmal segment.Oct was performed and revealed that a perforation had occurred at the aneurysm site.Angioplasty and stent placement were performed to resolve the perforation.An ultrasound, angiography, and intravenous ultrasound confirmed that extravasation had ceased.The patient was in good condition following procedure.Four days following the procedure, the patient expired.In the opinion of the physician, the cause of death was low oxygen saturation levels secondary to thrombus caused by the stent.The drainage method and administration of anticoagulation medications also contributed to the patient's death in the opinion of the physician.
