A diamondback 360 coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was used to treat a multivessel disease with lesions in the left main artery (lm), left anterior descending artery (lad), and right coronary artery (rca).Low-speed proximal to distal treatments were first performed in the lad and lm.Adenosine was administered between treatments.Thereafter, several low-speed treatments distal to proximal were performed from the lad into the lm.A high-speed treatment from the lad into the lm was performed, and imaging showed decent distal flow.There was one remaining stenotic area that intravascular ultrasound (ivus) and a microcatheter were unable to cross.A low- speed treatment was performed in this area.The patient became increasingly agitated and hypotensive.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) was performed, and the patient was intubated.A second guide catheter was inserted so the physician could advance a balloon to continue working on the lad.The first angiogram thereafter revealed a perforation.The physician continued treatment with the balloon.There was minimal flow to the distal lad.Echocardiogram indicated a small pericardial effusion and a severe hemothorax.Minimal blood was drained during attempted pericardiocentesis.Three covered stents were placed to seal the perforation.The patient began to recover after cpr and the administered medication.A norepinephrine drip was initiated, and the patient's condition began to decline.Cpr was performed again and continued for an hour before the patient expired.In the physician's opinion, the high-speed orbital atherectomy treatment caused the perforation.
