A diamondback 360 coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was used to treat a calcified lesion in the proximal left anterior descending artery (lad).The patient's creatine level was high, and the physician did not want to introduce unnecessary dye.The patient's ejection fraction (ef) was around 20%.When the viperwire advance guide wire was introduced into the patient, hypotension occurred prior to insertion of the oad, and neo-synephrine was administered.Two low speed treatments were performed proximal to distal.No additional treatment was performed due to the hypotension and new st elevation.The oad was removed, and a crystalized material was observed on the driveshaft.A scoreflex balloon was used to modify the lesion and the results of the inflation were good.Angiographic imaging showed no distal flow in the lad and in the distal circumflex artery (cfx).Balloon angioplasty was performed on the distal lad, and flow improved, though it worsened again after a short period of time.Balloon angioplasty was performed on the cfx, with no improvement.Integrilin was injected into the cfx, and the patient went into ventricular fibrillation.The patient coded, and cardioversion was applied twice.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) was administered, and the patient recovered.Angiographic imaging was performed again, and thrombus was identified in the distal lad and distal cfx.The patient went into ventricular fibrillation again and was treated until recovered.The physician decided to discontinue the procedure.The patient was kept on intravenous (iv) integrilin and amiodarone overnight.The next day, the patient was stable and alert.The patient was discharged on a life vest.
