A diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was used in a coronary procedure for treatment of a 90% stenosed, severely calcified ostial lesion in the right coronary artery (rca).The rca was 3.0-3.25mm in diameter.The lesion was crossed with a non-csi guide wire.Several attempts were made to exchange the guide wire for a csi guide wire, and the exchange was eventually successful.The oad was advanced to the lesion.The device briefly stopped spinning when the device was initially turned on.The oad started successfully on the second attempt, and three (3) short, 7-10 second, treatment passes were performed.It was noted that the crown of the oad had jumped.The patient then experienced chest pain and tightness.The oad was removed, contrast was observed outside of the vessel, and a massive perforation was observed.The patient declined rapidly, coded, and was intubated as an attempt was made to place a covered stent.Six to eight rounds of cpr were administered, the patient began to recover, and pericardiocentesis was performed.Imaging was performed, and the rca had shut down with only a few branches remaining.The patient appeared stable, and was transferred to the cardiovascular intensive care unit.The patient expired overnight on (b)(6) 2020, and the cause of death was reported to have been the perforation.It was noted that the patient had initially been turned down for surgery due to a porcelain aorta, and the left anterior descending coronary artery was severely diseased while the circumflex artery had mildly profuse disease.
