Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat the left anterior descending (lad) and diagonal coronary artery bifurcation with high calcification.The versaturn guide wire was placed in the diagonal artery and a non-abbott guide wire was placed in the lad.A non-compliant balloon was used due to the high calcification and then a stent was then implanted in the lad.This trapped the versaturn guide wire and the distal tip separated and the wire unraveled.The distal tip remains free floating in the artery and no dilatation of the diagonal artery was able to be performed.The patient was doing well at the end of the procedure.No additional information was provided.
