It was reported that the patient experienced a hematoma.The target lesion was located in the left anterior descending artery (lad).A 1.75mm rotapro and an opticross hd were selected for use.After a successful rotablation, an ivus was performed and it was noted that an intramural hematoma was visible at the mid to distal lad and it appeared to be well contained.The physician then covered the hematoma with a non-boston scientific drug eluting stent and it was radiographically successful.Per the physician, the hematoma was most likely a direct result from trauma to the vessel wall that occurred during rotablation.The procedure was completed and no further complications were reported.The patient did not suffer any symptoms during the procedure and is expected to fully recover.
