As part of a japan turbo postmarket study, a peripheral atherectomy procedure commenced to treat an in-stent restenosis (isr) in the patient''s left superficial femoral artery (sfa) and popliteal artery.The physician chose to use a spectranetics turbo elite laser atherectomy catheter (along with non-drug coated and drug coated balloon catheters, and a stent graft).After use of the turbo elite, angiography findings showed thrombosis.The thrombosis was not treated and the physician completed the procedure using a plain old balloon angioplasty (poba).It is unk where the thrombosis originated, and it was not confirmed whether thrombosis was present pre-procedure.This report is being submitted out of an abundance of caution, capturing the turbo elite device which was being used when thrombosis was discovered.There was no alleged malfunction of the turbo elite device in use during the procedure.
