The pantheris sv catheter was advanced to the anterior tibial artery and atherectomy performed with no issues.
The pantheris catheter was removed at the end of the procedure (the guidewire lumen was found torn/detached from the nosecone).
As the physician attempted to remove the guidewire, which is not a product manufactured or distributed by avinger, inc.
, he met resistance.
Using fluorocopy, it was noted that the guidewire was prolapsed on itself and the physician was unable to remove the guidewire.
An arterial cutdown was performed and the guidewire was removed successfully.
The patient was held overnight and released the next day.
