It was reported that the burr was unable to retract over the wire.
The target lesion was located in the severely calcified superficial femoral artery (sfa).
A 2.
00mm peripheral rotalink plus and a peripheral rotawire were selected for use.
During procedure, the burr stalled on two occasions.
Subsequently, upon withdrawal, it was noted that the burr could not be retracted over the rotawire.
The devices were able to be removed as a single unit from the patient's body, but lost wire access wire across the lesion.
A new access was obtained and successful angioplasty was performed to complete procedure.
There were no patient complications reported.
