During a peripheral atherectomy procedure using a csi orbital atherectomy device (oad), a dissection occurred.The target lesion was 90% stenosed and located in the common femoral artery.The lesion was treated using the oad on low speed, however when the device was operated on high speed it would continuously lose power.When the device would regain power, the crown would resume spinning.The device was replaced and treatment was continued.After use of the second oad, a dissection was noted.A stent was placed to resolve the dissection and the patient was stable following the procedure.
