A perforation was seen in the left anterior descending artery (lad) on angiogram following three distal to proximal treatments with the diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) in the lad.The lesion was heavily calcified and the vessel was moderately tortuous; glideassist had been used to advance the oad to the area of interest prior to treatment.The patient went into ventricular fibrillation, and vitals were compromised.Tamponade was performed with an angioplasty balloon, and covered stents were deployed.A pericardiocentesis was also performed, and an impella was placed.The patient was stable and improving at the conclusion of the procedure.The opinion of the physician was that difficult anatomy and tortuosity had made oa risky.
