The diamondback 360 coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was used for treatment in a 3.5mm, 80% stenosed, heavily calcified with moderate tortuosity right coronary artery (rca).The oad was spun for 10-12 treatments on slow speed in the proximal rca with no issue.Glideassist was activated and an attempt was made to advance the oad further distally to treat a second tight and tortuous stenosis, but the oad stopped spinning and the motor turned off, but the led lights remained illuminated.The saline pump functioned as intended and the power connections were checked and secured.After a few seconds, the on/off button on the oad was pressed and the oad activated but quickly stopped spinning again and became stuck in the vessel.A non-csi/abbott balloon was advanced and inflated and successfully freed the oad crown.The oad was removed and ex vivo, a small fracture distal to the crown was observed.It was the physician's opinion the fracture occurred during pulling attempts to remove the stuck oad, prior to balloon intervention.The oad was removed intact, no components were left in vivo.Angioplasty and stent placement were performed to complete the procedure.The patient was stable.The physician's opinion was the patient's anatomy contributed to the oad not advancing.
