During a procedure, a diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was used to treat a lesion in the left anterior descending coronary artery (lad).The type c, 80% stenosed, heavily calcified lesion was located in an area of the lad that was mildly tortuous and 3.0 mm in diameter and was accessed via a femoral approach.During treatment, the patient collapsed on the table and experienced hemodynamic changes.It was noted that there was no re-flow in the vessel and acute pulmonary oedema (apo) developed.The lad was stented and emergency procedures were performed.The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit with ongoing chest compressions and triple inotropic support.There was transient pea and spontaneous breathing noted, however, the patient gradually became asystolic.Subsequently, there was no spontaneous breathing and absent heart sounds, and the patient was declared dead.The cause of death was reported to be acute myocardial infarction.The opinion of the physician was that the oad contributed to the event and death as the cause of death was multifactorial.
