H6 investigation conclusion code 22: the diamondback 360® coronary orbital atherectomy system instructions for user manual states that a perforation of vessels is a potential adverse event that may occur and/or require intervention with use of the system.The guide wire was returned engaged in the oad for analysis.Analysis revealed a fracture in the core wire located 14.6cm from the spring tip.Scanning electron microscopy (sem) was performed on the guide wire sections.Sem analysis showed evidence of nitinol fatique, and unusual rotational wear around the wire core proximal of the fracture site.It is unknown how the damage occurred.It is possible the driveshaft fracture in csi id: 14124 occurred and then was spun across this location.The fractured filars of the oad may have interacted with the guide wire, resulting in the wear marks.However, this is not confirmed and the root cause of the guide wire fracture could not be conclusively determined.The material inspection report for this guide wire lot number has been reviewed.No issues or discrepancies were noted during this review that would have contributed to the reported event.The device met material, assembly, and quality control requirements.Csi id: (b)(4).

The diamondback 360 coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was advanced on glideassist to treat a 90% stenosed, moderately calcified with mild tortuosity proximal left anterior descending artery (lad).The oad was spun two times on low speed without issue.During the third attempt to spin the oad for treatment, the oad became stuck at the distal of the lad.The physician's opinion, the oad became stuck due to the narrowness of the patient's anatomy.Glideassist was activated to free the oad resulting in both a oad driveshaft and viperwire fracture.A non-csi/abbott guide wire and non-csi/abbott balloon were advanced, there was no difficulty experienced, and the balloon was dilated to perform an anchor technique to successfully retrieve the fractured components and the oad and viperwire were removed.The lesion was checked with intravascular ultrasound (ivus) and a perforation was observed and also a lesion at the distal, but ivus or a balloon could not pass through the lesion.Therefore, a non-csi atherectomy device was used followed by angioplasty and stent placement.Cineangiography was checked and a perforation was observed.Angioplasty and stent were performed to treat the perforation.The patient was stable but hospitalized.It was the physician's opinion, the perforation occurred during use of the oad, but is unsure if the oad driveshaft or the viperwire likely caused the perforation.
