Following several treatments on low speed in the distal left anterior descending artery (lad) and two treatments on low speed in the proximal lad with the coronary diamondback orbital atherectomy device (oad), high speed was selected for a final treatment, and a perforation occurred.The patient became hypotensive and coded.The patient was intubated, had chest compressions performed and was given life saving drugs.While the patient was given cardiopulmonary resuscitation, drugs and ventilation, the physician placed an impella device.The patient went into ventricular fibrillation and was given cardioversion, along with chest compressions and advanced cardiac life support (acls) protocols.The physician re-wired the vessel and place a stent over the perforation.A transesophageal electrocardiograph was performed and revealed an effusion, so a second physician performed a pericardiocentesis, which relieved some of the blood built up around the ventricle.There was no cardiac activity for one hour and twenty minutes, and time of death was called.The opinion of the physician was that the primary cause of death was the perforation, along with severe calcium and the progression of the patient's coronary artery disease.The target lesion was severely calcified and 90% stenotic, with a diameter of 3-4mm.
