During a procedure, a viperwire was selected for use in a tightly stenosed lesion in the mid-right coronary artery (rca).A couple of atherectomy treatment passes were performed on low speed in the proximal rca.During the first pass through the midsection of the rca in a proximal-to-distal direction, the crown of the orbital atherectomy device (oad) jumped through the lesion and became stuck.Attempts to remove the oad were unsuccessful.The physician tried to advance a non-csi guide wire through the lesion, but it was unable to cross.The oad was then cut at the strain relief, and a guideliner was advanced over the driveshaft in an attempt to loosen the oad; however, this was unsuccessful.The oad was then pulled on with considerable force, and the tip of the wire broke off and remained in the rca.The patient coded and was resuscitated.The patient was intubated and admitted to the icu.The mid-to-distal rca was completely shut down, and the patient was experiencing a controlled myocardial infarction.The patient was assessed for surgery by a surgeon but was turned down due to patient status.As of (b)(6) 2020, there was no long-term care plan for the patient.The site declined to provide additional information on the patient's status.
