Following treatment of an 80% stenosed lesion in a non-tortuous mid diagonal artery with two passes of a diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad), imaging was performed and a cloud of dye was observed which suggested a perforation had occurred.Balloon inflation was performed for several minutes and a stent was placed in the diagonal.It appeared the perforation had been resolved, however the septal branch of the diagonal was now jailed and shut down.A balloon was inserted through the struts of the stent into the septal branch to re-open it.After the inflation, an angiogram was performed and the perforation was noted again in the area of oad treatment.An embolization coil was placed in the septal branch to seal the perforation.The patient then became hypotensive, was treated pharmacologically and transferred to intensive care.The patient was stable several hours after the procedure.
