It was reported that during a peripheral orbital atherectomy procedure, a dissection occurred that was resolved using an unplanned stent.The target lesion was located in the superficial femoral artery (sfa).The physician used a csi viperwire guide wire and csi orbital atherectomy device (oad) to treat the lesion.The physician successfully completed two runs in the lesion, but during the third run, the device stopped running and would not start again.A dissection was noted, so the physician removed the viperwire guide wire and oad as a unit and re-wired the lesion.The physician resolved the dissection via balloon angioplasty and stent placement.The patient status remained stable throughout the procedure.Requests for additional information have been made, but none has yet been received.
