It was reported that during a coronary orbital atherectomy procedure, the patient went into ventricular fibrillation (vf), which required additional intervention.There were two target lesions in the mid and distal right coronary artery (rca) located at the bifurcation of the posterior descending artery (pda) and posterolateral artery (pla).The physician introduced the guide catheter into the patient and advanced the csi viperwire guide wire across the lesion.The csi oad was then loaded onto the guide wire and advanced to the distal lesion.The physician performed a pre-atherectomy angiography to verify that the oad crown was close to the distal lesion.Angiography revealed that the csi oad had occluded the vessel in the mid-rca lesion, stopping the flow of blood to the distal region of the vessel.The physician then pulled the oad proximally, which returned low pressure blood flow to the vessel.As the guide catheter was being retracted proximally, the patient went into vf which triggered a shock by his internal defibrillator.The patient was administered dopamine and blood pressure returned to baseline level after a few minutes.The atherectomy procedure was aborted due to this event and the physician completed the intervention via balloon angioplasty and stent placement.The patient was discharged in stable condition.
