Event or Problem Description

Orbital atherectomy (oa) with a diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was used to treat a lesion in the right coronary artery (rca) of a patient who had a temporary pacemaker placed prior to the procedure.A guide catheter was inserted, and the patient's blood pressure temporarily decreased.The oad was inserted, and glideassist mode was used to advance the crown.The rca was highly calcified and tortuous.Two distal-to-proximal oa treatments were administered.Prior to the third treatment pass, glideassist was activated again, however an unexpected audible noise was observed.Attempts to move the crown were made by moving the control knob distal and proximal and pulling on the oad, but removal was unsuccessful.The patient's blood pressure decreased again and continued to fluctuate.A balloon pump was inserted to stabilize the patient's blood pressure.The oad was stuck on the wire and both the oad and wire were removed together.The crown and tip fractured and remained in vivo.Wires were used in an attempt to trap the fragment, however the fragment migrated into a small branch of the posterolateral artery.The patient experienced chest pain and pressure changes.An angiography of the vessel was performed and revealed a flow limiting dissection.The patient became hypotensive.It was then observed that the pacemaker had activated several times.Vasopressors were administered.A balloon was inserted to treat the dissection; however, it was unable to cross the lesion.The patient was transferred for a bypass of the rca.The surgery was successful.The patient was recovering following the surgery and remained on pressors.Per the opinion of the physician, the pressure changes experienced when the guide catheter was inserted was likely due to the guide catheter occluding the rca.The pressure changes experienced when the dissection occurred was likely due to the dissection.

The oad was received at csi for analysis, engaged with the guide wire.Visual examination revealed the driveshaft was fractured at the proximal edge of the crown.Driveshaft flexing at the weld location can initiate fatigue and scanning electron microscopy identified fatigue striations on one of the filars at the fracture site.Two of the other filars exhibited damage which prevented further analysis of the fracture faces from being performed.When tested, the oad functioned as intended.At the conclusion of the device analysis investigation, the dissection, hypotensive and surgery events could not be confirmed through analysis.However, the report that the device was stuck on the wire was confirmed as the oad was received with the guide wire engaged and the driveshaft fracture event was also confirmed.It was hypothesized that the driveshaft underwent excessive flexing near the crown, due to spinning in excessive tortuosity or resistance, which pushed the driveshaft in a tight bend, however the exact root cause was undetermined.The device history record for this oad lot number has been reviewed.No issues or discrepancies were noted during this review that would have contributed to the reported event.The device met material, assembly, and quality control requirements.Csi id: (b)(4).
