The treatment area was a 2.5mm, chronic total occlusion (cto), and heavily calcified right coronary artery (rca).When attempting to treat the rca, the diamondback 360 coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was spun five times on low speed but could not successfully cross the lesion.Force was then used to advance the oad resulting in the oad becoming stuck.The oad was pulled and was successfully freed, however, a perforation was observed.Autologous fat was used to treat the perforation.Due to the perforation, the decision was made to abort treating the vessel.The patient was stable.The physician's opinion was the oad became stuck due to the extremely calcified vessel and too much force from the oad.
