It was reported that a vessel perforation occurred.The target lesion was located in the tortuous and heavily calcified proximal to middle circumflex artery (cx).A 1.25mm rotapro was selected for complex percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) procedure.The patient does not want a surgery, so the physician agreed to attempt this complex pci.During the procedure, multiple compliant balloons were inflated before attempting to directly deliver the rotawire drive to the vessel, but it was unsuccessful.A wire exchange was performed and then the 1.25mm rotapro was advanced to lesion.Ablation was performed and the physician was very cautious but had good pecking motion and did runs of around 10 to 15 seconds at 180,000rpm.Decelerations were noted and pathway was being created it was noted slight leaking of contrast observed.There was a bend at the distal section of lesion, which the physician feels was the cause of the perforation.Consequently, the patient experienced ecg changes and chest pain.A nc balloon was inflated and then covered stent placed to treat the perforation.The procedure completed without further issues.The patient was stable post procedure and expected to fully recover.
