Following a wire exchange for the viperwire advance guide wire the diamondback 360 coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was used for treatment in a 4mm, 90% stenosed, highly tortuous left circumflex artery (lcx).The oad was advanced on glideassist and then spun three times on low speed and three times on high speed.Cineangiography was checked and the oad driveshaft was fractured distal to the crown.The oad was removed and after five hours, the fractured component was successfully retrieved with a guide extension catheter.A new oad and same viperwire were used to resume atherectomy, treating with the pushing and pulling technique.The viperwire was observed to be moving abnormally.The oad was stopped.When attempting to pull on the viperwire, it could not be extracted, and it was observed to be fractured.Unsuccessful attempts were made to retrieve the fractured viperwire component.A stent was placed to pressure bond the fractured component and the procedure was completed.The patient was stable.
