During a peripheral atherectomy procedure using a csi diamondback orbital atherectomy device (oad), the device became stuck in the lesion.
The target lesion was 80% stenosed and located in the anterior tibial artery (at).
The lesion was wired and the oad inserted, however it would not cross the lesion.
Balloon angioplasty was performed, following which the oad was reinserted and successfully crossed the lesion.
The lesion was treated with one pass at low speed and one pass at medium speed.
When an attempt was made to remove the device, resistance was experienced.
The device was tugged but was unable to be removed from the patient, and the guide wire was noted to be kinked.
The guide wire was removed and a non-csi guide wire was inserted into the oad, however it coiled inside the device and was unable to be inserted.
The oad was destructively cut and an additional wire was inserted in order to remove the device.
Balloon angioplasty was performed to complete the procedure and the patient was in stable condition.
