It was reported that a perforation occurred.A 99% stenosed target lesion was located in the severely calcified ostial right coronary artery.A 1.50mm rotapro was selected for use.During the procedure, a rotawire drive and non-boston scientific guidewire were used to deliver the burr.The rotations per minute (rpms) speed was set to 170,000 rpm.Two runs were done to complete the plaque modification.Upon removal, an injection was made with contrast and a perforation was noticed.The physician then used a 3.5 x 20 non-compliant balloon to tamponade the perforation.An echo was performed, and no effusion was seen nor was any aortic deformation seen.The patient was stable throughout the entire procedure.The physician then stented the vessel and intravascular ultrasound (ivus) was obtained.The patient was admitted per procedural protocol and is expected to be discharged per hospital protocol.No further complications were reported.
