Event or Problem Description
|
|
The diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) could not be advanced through a narrow lesion in the right coronary artery (rca) via femoral approach despite use of the viperwire to help direct and despite the use of a threader catheter.The device was turned on in order to treat the proximal part of the lesion so that the device could advance farther.After two treatments a flow-limiting dissection was identified in the rca.Orbital atherectomy was discontinued at that time.Resistance was encountered when the oad was removed.At that time, the dissection was noted to be flow-limiting.A guide wire would not cross the dissection, and a balloon was used to treat the dissection, but the artery did not open.The patient then complained of chest pain.Pericardial effusion was ruled out, and attempts to cross the dissection with a guide wire were continued.A balloon pump was placed and the patient no longer had chest pain and the pt segments became normal.The patient was discharged (b)(6) 2018.
