Event Description

It was reported that a catheter rotation would not stop resulting in the patient being sent to the intensive care unit.The target lesion was located in the circumflex artery.An opticross imaging catheter was advanced to the circumflex to evaluate the blockage.The catheter tip then became stuck in the blockage.The opticross was attempted to be withdrawn.Force was applied to remove the catheter and the distal tip detached inside the blockage within the circumflex.Retrieval attempts were made to retrieve the dislodged tip.A 1.5mm rotapro burr catheter was used to ablate a path to reach the detached tip.While atherectomy was being performed in the artery the system could not stop rotating.The power was turned off on the rotapro console.Subsequently, the patient coded.The patient lost their left anterior descending artery and a pseudoaneurysm formed in the proximal area of the circumflex artery.A left ventricular assist device was placed inside the patient and the left anterior descending artery was stented without issue.The patient stabilized and was sent to the intensive care unit.
