A stealth 360 peripheral orbital atherectomy device (oad) was attempted to be used for treatment of 70% stenosed, moderately calcified, 6mm-diameter lesion in right common femoral artery (cfa).Pedal access via right posterior tibial artery (pt) was gained and intravascular ultrasound (ivus) was used to image the right lower extremity.A 6fr guiding sheath was in use.The right pt had diffuse moderate calcium but the physician felt like they could advance a 1.5 solid oad through the pt and up to the cfa and superficial femoral artery (sfa) to treat.The right sfa was 80% stenosed, moderately calcified and 5mm in diameter.Upon advancing the oad, resistance was met and the oad could not be advanced through the pt.When trying to take an image and injecting through the pedal sheath, extravasation was observed.Oad removal was attempted but met resistance.As the oad could not be activated, the physician knew that the right pt had spasmed over the oad.The oad was able to be removed along with the viperwire and sheath by steadily pulling the oad with a little tension.Ex vivo, the viperwire was found stuck within the oad.There was no tissue or plaque observed on the oad.After maintaining hemostasis, access via the left cfa was obtained and ivus was advanced up and over to the right leg to take images.As the right pt was in good condition without injury (extravasation had closed), balloon angioplasty on the right sfa and cfa using non-csi/non-abbott balloon were performed.The patient was stable after the procedure and was discharged home as planned.Review of angiographic images taken during the procedure showed a ring-like foreign material around the oad driveshaft that seemed to be part of the crown, but the crown appeared to be intact.The images did not show any fractured component in vivo.

The oad was returned for analysis with the guide wire engaged.The guide wire spring tip coil was elongated but intact.There was no evident damage to the core shaft or spring tip of the guide wire.Adhered biological material was observed on the oad driveshaft distal from the sheath.The engaged guide wire was removed with resistance due to accumulated biological material, confirming the reported complaint of device stuck on wire.Analysis did not identify any damage that may have contributed to the accumulating material.The exact root cause of the accumulated biological material is unknown.Review of the device data log showed the device was attempted to be spun two times and both ended in stall events confirming the complaint of device stuck on wire.Analysis also found blue fibrous material on the oad driveshaft proximal from the crown confirming the reported complaint of foreign material.It is hypothesized that this could be from spinning on a blue laboratory towel ex-vivo.The device history record for this oad lot number has been reviewed.No issues or discrepancies were noted during this review that would have contributed to the reported event.The device met material, assembly, and quality control requirements.H6 investigation conclusion code 22: the sttealth 360® peripheral orbital atherectomy system instructions for use manual states that perforation of vessels and vessel spasm are potential adverse events that may occur and/or require intervention with use of the system.Csi id: (b)(4).
