Orbital atherectomy treatment was successfully performed via left radial access to the left popliteal (pa) and common femoral arteries without issue, and the orbital atherectomy device was removed from the patient's body.
A balloon was inserted over the viperwire guide wire to treat the pa and balloon angioplasty was successfully performed.
During the removal process the balloon became stuck, and the guide wire was pulled, however a kink was observed in the guide wire which prevented the balloon from being removed.
The sheath, balloon and wire were pulled back into the mid aorta and access to the right groin was obtained in order to snare the wire from below, however this attempt was unsuccessful.
The balloon, wire and sheath were then removed from the radial access site.
Imaging was performed and confirmed a type f dissection in the axillary artery and a vessel spasm in the radial artery.
Vascular surgery was consulted, and it was determined that no further treatment was required and the patient would be monitored, however the following day a coronary bypass surgery was performed.
The patient was discharged in stable condition.
