Event Description
|
It was reported that shaft perforation occurred.The 100% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and moderately calcified right superficial femoral artery (sfa).A long regional chronic total occlusion from the right sfa bifurcation to p1 was treated with both ipsilateral forward and retrograde ipsilateral and back of knee approaches.A 6fr non-boston scientific (bsc) guiding sheath was placed from the ipsilateral prograde and a 3fr sheath was placed from the back of the knee.Advanced through the occlusion with a non-bsc microcatheter and a jupiterfc3 guidewire from the ipsilateral forward side.Crossing became difficult in the calcified area, so worked with a jupitert15 guidewire from the back of the knee, but was unable to rendezvous with the micro on the forward side, so continued up the retrograde system to the sfa bifurcation.The site of passage of the retrograde system was confirmed by intravascular ultrasound (ivus) from the antegrade side and confirmed to be the lumen of the vessel.The retrograde system was placed in the forward sheath to construct a pull-through and replaced with a 300 cm support wire before dilation and stenting.The lesion was well dilated and the blood flow was good.Subsequently, an appropriate preparation was made to stop the bleeding at the knee puncture site.A 4.0mmx60mmx135cm (4f) sterling balloon catheter was advanced.However, when the guidewire was tried to cross through the rear end of the wire, the rear end of the wire penetrated the inner shaft of the balloon and went through to the outside of the balloon.Since dilation could not be performed as it was, a 4-100 mustang was used to stop the bleeding and complete the procedure.No patient complications were reported.

(a2) age at time of event: 18 years or older.(e1) initial reporter city: (b)(6).Device evaluated by mfr.: returned product consisted of a sterling balloon catheter.The outer shaft, inner shaft, balloon, and tip were visually and microscopically examined.Microscopic inspection showed a kink 57.6 cm from the hub.A pinhole in the balloon was confirmed 8 mm from the distal tip, a hole in the catheter was confirmed 7mm from the distal tip.Device analysis determined the condition of the returned device was consistent with the reported information of a hole.
