Event Description
|
It was reported that perforation and death occurred.A rotapro 1.50mm over a rotawire floppy were selected to treat a significantly calcified diffuse lesion in the proximal to mid left anterior ascending artery (lad) vessel.Rotablation was successfully performed with multiple runs.The burr was then advanced to the lesion within the mid lad near the bifurcation of the 1st diagonal artery.Reviewing the stored fluoroscopy it appeared that the burr was pecking at the lesion, and then the burr advanced rapidly along the wire with little control.The rota burr then deaccelerated and stalled instantaneously.Upon activation of rotablation, the system continued to stall.On selection of dynaglide, the system again stalled.The physician, however was able to remove the burr from the patient with a retracting pull on the sheath.During fluoroscopy and injection of contrast a perforation was identified within the mid lad at the location of the calcified lesion.The rotawire was exchanged and a balloon was inflated at the point of the perforation to minimize the bleeding in the pericardial space.Ivus was used to image the vessel and a hematoma was visible.Two drug eluting stents were implanted from prox lad to mid lad.Pericardiocentesis was performed and an aortic balloon pump was inserted.The patient then went into a cardiac arrest and cpr was performed on table.The patient then stabilized, although in a critical condition was transferred to the intensive care unit.The patient later died from the complications experienced in the procedure.
