It was reported that the jetstream device was difficult to remove from the patient, and there was an issue with the coating integrity.A jetstream xc was selected for use in the atherectomy procedure to treat the patient condition of peripheral artery disease (pad).The target lesion was located within the popliteal artery and superficial femoral artery.A non-bsc sheath was placed in the tibial artery.The jetstream xc was advanced from the distal to the proximal using atherectomy lubricant, with the intent to activate in the trunk/popliteal segment.Resistance was noted as the jetstream was advanced around the hunter's canal area.At this point, it was decided to remove and upsize the sheath to a standard 7f.After the sheath was exchanged, the jetstream advanced without resistance.After the jetstream use concluded, there was resistance noted upon removal.Once removed from the patient, it was visualized that the coating of the catheter appeared to be delaminating.No further action was taken, as the jetstream was no longer needed at this time.The procedure was completed, and there were no adverse consequences reported for the patient.
