THE WIRE WAS EXCHANGED WITH ANOTHER ROTAWIRE AND PERFORMED ABLATION FOR THREE TIMES AT 180,000RPM FOR ABOUT 60 SECONDS EACH. DURING THE THIRD ABLATION, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE CORONARY ARTERY WAS PERFORATED. AFTER THE PERFORATION, A NON BSC STENT WAS PLACED. HOWEVER, PERFORATION OCCURRED IN THE DISTAL OF THE STENT.
