Physician was attempting to use the hawkone atherectomy device during procedure to treat moderately calcified fibrous plaque in the distal right superficial femoral artery (sfa) with chronic total occlusion (cto -100%).The vessel had moderately tortuous.The vessel diameter and lesion length was 5mm and 13mm respectively.The device was inspected and prepped per ifu with no issues identified.It was reported that during the surgery, the physician first used a 2mm balloon to pre-dilate the target lesion vessel of the sfa, then the distal popliteal artery was protected with a 4mm spider.The hawk cutter head was flushed according to standard procedure,exchanged and then delivered to the target lesion vessel.Following the vascular 3 o'clock direction, rotation cut from the proximal of the blood vessel to the distal end.Pushed the push rod of the recovery bin to the front.At this time, the physician was ready to withdraw the blade to check the rotary cutting situation.It was found that during the withdrawal process, the distal spider retreated with the rotary blade.After repeated attempts,  it still could not be solved.Finally, the blade was withdrawn relatively vigorously.After the spider retracted to the proximal of the popliteal artery, it separated from the blade.The blade was withdrawn, for the safety, the physician chose a non-medtronic balloon after dilation for dcb treatment.Due to vascular flow-restricting dissection, physician placed a salvage stent, a 5x150 everflex stent.It is unknown which device (spider or hawk) caused the dissection.Tissue found in spider body after the surgery.The patient has been discharged from hospital.No further patient injury.
