A ventricular assistance device was placed for support during an atherectomy procedure in the 95% eccentric calcified left main (lm) artery.The lm presented with an aneurysm.Due to calcium, preclose failed to take in the left groin.The calcification in the right common femoral artery (rcfa) was more significant.The coronary viperwire advance flextip guide wire was advanced into the distal left anterior descending (lad) artery.Three treatments were performed on low speed, and two on high speed.The patient experienced chest pain.No changes with hemodialysis or the electrocardiogram (ekg) were observed.A predilation balloon was then advanced and expanded without issue.Angiographic imaging revealed an aneurysmal area had formed off the lm.Intravascular ultrasound (ivus) was performed and revealed a proximal dissection.Two drug eluding stents (des) were deployed, one proximal and one distal to the dissection.A non-csi non-compliant balloon was dilated.The dissection area was covered, and the aneurysmal area was not growing.Balloon angioplasty and stent placement were performed in the right coronary artery lesion.The patient was then sent to another unit for recovery.
