The stealth peripheral orbital atherectomy device was selected for treatment of a proximal lesion located in the anterior tibial artery.
The vessel was 70% stenosed, and 3mm in diameter.
The oad was operated on low speed and jumped forward on the first treatment pass.
On the third treatment pass the oad stopped spinning.
All expected leds were visibly lit at this time.
Repositioning of the oad was attempted, however it was stuck on the guide wire.
Glideassist mode was used to remove the oad from the patient's body and the guide wire remained in place.
A vessel perforation was observed after the oad was removed.
Balloon angioplasty was performed at 8 atmospheres for one minute.
Imaging still showed extravasation and a blood pressure cuff was placed below the knee and inflated for one hour.
After several hours of monitoring the patient, imaging showed no signs of a perforation and the patient was discharged home.
