The viper wire guide wire was advanced to the lesion via radial access.Orbital atherectomy was performed and the orbital atherectomy device was removed.A radial sheath was inserted, and a balloon was advanced over the guide wire.The balloon was pulled backwards and the guide wire became kinked between the sheath and exit port of the balloon.Attempts to remove the balloon from the wire were unsuccessful and the kink worsened.The guide wire could not be removed through the sheath.A second balloon was inserted in order to remove the guide wire but was unable to pass through the kinked area.Attempts to move the devices backward into the axillary artery were made, however they were unsuccessful.A small vessel perforation was observed in the axillary artery and a vascular surgery consult was obtained.The artery was cut down and the guide wire and remaining devices were removed.The perforation was sealed, and the patient was reported to be doing well.
