It was reported that during a coronary orbital atherectomy procedure, a csi orbital atherectomy device (oad) got stuck in the patient and required surgical intervention.The entire right coronary artery (rca) was diffusely diseased and had been previously treated with multiple stents.A jr4 and a csi viperwire guide wire were used to access the lesion.The physician loaded the oad onto the guide wire and advanced it just proximal to the lesion.The physician performed two runs at low speed with no issue.During the next run at high speed, a pitch change was heard in the oad and the crown appeared to jump distally.No angiographic complications were observed, but the oad was stuck and could not be pulled back.Multiple different attempts to remove the device were made, but were unsuccessful.At this point, the patient's vitals were stable, but the patient started to complain of arm pain.The patient was taken to surgery for removal of the oad.During surgery, the oad was successfully removed, but an aortic dissection led to the patients status declining and the patient expired.Additional information has been requested, but none has yet been received.
