Difficulty was experienced when advancing a non-csi guide wire and a balloon through the left main (lm) artery into the left anterior descending (lad) artery and maintaining wire position.The vessel was then direct wired with a viperwire flex tip guide wire.Difficulty was experienced when advancing the non-csi wire and the viperwire.Three treatments were performed advancing from the lm to the lad using a diamondback 360 coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad).The oad was removed, an over the wire (otw) balloon was placed, and wire exchange with a non-csi wire was performed.During this time, the patient's blood pressure was slowly decreasing.Following the removal of the otw balloon, imaging was performed and revealed a perforation at the treatment site in the lad.A balloon was then positioned, inflated and removed.An unsuccessful attempt was made to cross the lesion with a covered stent.A balloon was then positioned and inflated followed by placement of a covered stent at the perforation site.The perforation had resolved; however, the patient's blood pressure was low.Medication and a blood transfusion were administered, and the blood pressure improved.The perforation was observed to be leaking again.An nc balloon was placed and inflated for two minutes, resolving the perforation.Blood flow in the lad returned to normal to complete the procedure.An echocardiogram was performed and revealed no pericardial effusion.The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition.The patient later expired.The cause of death could not be confirmed.
