On (b)(6) 2021, a procedure was performed using a diamondback pluto coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) after review of results from a prior procedure, which took place on (b)(6) 2021.During the procedure on (b)(6) 2021, rotational atherectomy was used, and a large calcium fragment shifted into the ostial left anterior descending artery (lad).During the procedure on (b)(6) 2021, the glideassist function of the oad was used via radial access to position the oad crown distal to the shifted calcium.Two distal to proximal treatment passes were performed on low speed for 25 seconds each.Very little engagement with the calcium was heard.No angiography was performed.A high-speed treatment was initiated, and the patient experienced chest pain after approximately five seconds.Treatment was stopped, and angiography showed a perforation in the proximal to mid-section of the lad.Balloon angioplasty was applied, and a stent was deployed to resolve the perforation.Left femoral access was gained, and an impella device was placed.Pericardiocentesis was unsuccessful in draining fluid from behind the right atrium.The patient was stable, and the impella was removed.The patient was intubated for a transesophageal echocardiogram.The patient still had active bleeding behind the right atrium on the evening of (b)(6) 2021.Additional surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2021 and (b)(6) 2021 to drain fluid from behind the right atrium.The patient developed an acute kidney injury due to shock secondary to coronary perforation and tamponade.The patient underwent dialysis on (b)(6) 2021 and remained in the hospital.Life support was withdrawn on (b)(6) 2021, and the patient expired on (b)(6) 2021.
