Despite guidance from csi field staff, the user of the diamondback exchangeable series orbital atherectomy device (oad) performed treatment at approximately 15cm per second in the superficial femoral artery.A 100cm spiral dissection occurred as a result of the failure to follow the instructions for use, which were repeatedly verbally provided to the user by field staff.A covered stent was placed to treat the dissection, and the patient was stable.
