    IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING A HEAVILY TORTUOUS, THROMBOTIC, HEAVILY CALCIFIED, 100% STENOSED, PROXIMAL AND MID PROXIMAL RIGHT CORONARY ARTERY (RCA) LESION THE BALANCE MIDDLEWEIGHT (BMW) GUIDE WIRE WAS USED FOR ACCESS AND PREDILATATION WITH A 3.0 X 8 MM NON-ABBOTT BALLOON DILATATION CATHETER (BDC). A 3.5 X 18 MM XIENCE PRIME STENT DELIVERY SYSTEM (SDS) WAS ADVANCED BUT COULD NOT CROSS THE LESION AND WAS REMOVED WITHOUT ISSUE. A WHISPER BUDDY WIRE WAS INTRODUCED AND THE LESION WAS ATTEMPTED WITH A 3.5 X 12 MM XIENCE PRIME SDS, HOWEVER, THE HYPOTUBE BECAME KINKED AND THE SDS WAS REMOVED FROM THE ANATOMY. A SECOND 3.5 X 12 MM XIENCE PRIME SDS WAS DELIVERED, HOWEVER, IT WAS NOTED UNDER FLUOROSCOPY THAT THE BMW AND WHISPER GUIDE WIRES AND SDS APPEARED TO BE MOVING TOGETHER AS A SYSTEM; EVERYTHING WAS REMOVED TOGETHER AND DURING THE REMOVAL THE PROXIMAL SHAFT BENT AND OUTSIDE THE ANATOMY BECAME SEPARATED. DURING INSPECTION THE SDS HYPOTUBE WAS NOTED TO HAVE SEVERAL PUNCTURES IN THE DISTAL SEGMENT AND A PORTION OF WIRE PROTRUDING FROM ONE OF THE PUNCTURES. THE DEVICES WERE NOT USED. A SECOND WHISPER GUIDE WIRE WAS USED AND A 2.75 X 18 MM NON-ABBOTT SDS WAS ADVANCED BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN CROSSING THE LESION.
