Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
An 82-yr-old white female underwent directional coronary atherectomy of a high-grade proximal left anterior artery stenosis. The nose cone tip of a Simpson Atherocath SCA-EX separated during loading of the device onto a 360-cm exchange wire. This was recognized prior to insertion through a rotating hemostatic valve and exchanged for another device. Catheterization laboratory policy regarding defective devices is briefly discussed. |
