During a procedure, the coronary diamondback orbital atherectomy device (oad) became stuck in the vessel, and a dissection and perforation were seen on imaging following removal of the oad.The patient expired during treatment of the perforation.The target lesions were located in the right coronary artery (rca) (ostial, proximal, mid, and distal), the left anterior descending (lad), and the left circumflex artery (lcx).A temporary pacemaker was placed and tested.Treatment of the lesions in the rca was successful, and the viperwire was removed and replaced with a guide wire that was inserted into the left main artery (lm).A workhorse wire was used to cross the lesion located in the lcx and was then exchanged for a viperwire.The oad was re-inserted into the patient, and glide assist was used to cross the lesion prior to treatment in order to treat the lesion from a retrograde approach.Two treatments were performed for approximately 20-25 seconds, and the oad became stuck.The glideassist function would not activate, and multiple attempts to remove the device using manual efforts and balloons proved unsuccessful.The driveshaft of the oad was cut, and the original guide wire was removed to obtain another arterial access site.The guide wire was inserted into the lm,, where multiple attempts were made to advance a guideliner over the oad and remove it, and the oad was successfully removed in this manner.An angiogram was performed, and a small aneurysm was noted.Additional imaging was performed, and multiple injections of contrast revealed that a perforation had occurred.A stent was placed without success to prevent cardiac tamponade.A pericardiocentesis was performed with a possible right ventricle puncture.Blood was unable to be drained from the pericardial space.The patient became hypotensive, and developed bradycardia which led to cardiac arrest.Multiple doses of epinephrine were administered, and a drip was initiated.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed for approximately 20 minutes while additional unsuccessful attempts to drain the blood were made.The angiogram showed worsening of the perforation and extravasation of fluid in the pericardium, along with the lack of return of spontaneous circulation.The patient was pronounced dead by the physician.
