A peripheral atherectomy procedure commenced, included as part of a (b)(6) postmarket study.
The procedure was an in-stent restenosis (isr) to treat a lesion in the patient's mid superficial femoral artery (sfa).
The physician chose a spectranetics turbo elite laser atherectomy catheter and a drug coated balloon catheter to treat the patient.
After the procedure, a grade b arterial dissection was observed after use of the turbo elite, and observed also after use of the balloon.
There was no need for intervention.
The procedure was completed successfully and the patient was discharged three days later with no further complications.
This report captures the turbo elite device in use when the arterial dissection occurred, with no intervention required.
There was no alleged malfunction of the turbo elite device in use during the procedure.
