During a procedure with a diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad), a perforation occurred.The three 75% stenosed, calcified, nodular target lesions were located in an area of the proximal to mid right coronary artery (rca) that was 3.00 mm in diameter.Four smaller balloons were used to help the ivus cross the lesions, and treatment was subsequently started.The lesions were treated in a proximal to distal order with the orbital atherectomy treatment of each lesion being performed in a distal to proximal direction.When the second lesion was being treated, the physician mistook the adventitia for a side branch, performed additional spinning and a perforation of the myocardial side of the vessel occurred.A covered stent was implanted to treat the perforation.The patient's condition was good following the procedure.
