During a coronary atherectomy procedure using a csi diamondback orbital atherectomy device (oad), the tip of the viperwire guide wire became detached and a perforation occurred.The target lesion was 95% stenosed and located in the left anterior descending artery (lad).Prior to atherectomy, two balloon angioplasty inflations were performed.The oad was then inserted and one pass was performed on low speed.It was noted that the guide wire had moved out of position, and it was moved to a more distal location.The lesion was treated with the oad again on low speed, and during the pass the device stopped functioning and an unusual noise was heard.The device was removed from the patient and imaging was performed.A perforation was noted and the tip of the guide wire was noted to be detached and remaining in the vessel.The patient was transferred to the operating room and bypass surgery was performed to resolve the perforation and retrieve the wire fragment.It was reported to csi that the patient remained in intensive care in stable condition, and a follow up procedure was performed (b)(6) 2018.It was reported to csi that the patient was stable and recovering following the follow up procedure.
