Complex calcified lad, dr.Used turnpike with a run-through guidewire, he noticed the tip looked scrunched up, so removed the device and pulled another turnpike, and when he advanced it, the tip became stuck onto the wire.He had to remove the entire system.Additional info rec'd 12jun2018: the account believes part of the tip of the turnpike lp was detached and on the wire, and that is why the 2nd turnpike got stuck on the wire when they were advancing it.They ended up completing the procedure without a turnpike, they had to remove the entire system, and go back in again without the use of a micro catheter.It is reported, there was torquing of the catheter and the vessel was reported as tortuous and heavily calcified.No patient injury or impact.The current patient condition is reported as fine.
