Context was a right superficial femoral artery (sfa) dissection post-atherectomy.Diagnostic run off was performed and the doctor proceeded with the intervention of the right sfa.A csi 2.0 diamondback was used.As the doctor was trying to remove the device, he felt some resistance.He was finally able to remove the device and the wire.He took a picture and realized there was a dissection with no distal flow.He tried to get a wire down to balloon but was unable to advance anything.He took several angiograms of the distal flow and there was no flow.He tried to use a doppler to get distal pulses in the right foot and they were absent.The doctor decided at that point to take the patient to the o.R.The patient was transported to pre op.
