As reported, during a procedure to treat peripheral arterial occlusive disease, an advance 35 lp low profile balloon catheter's balloon leaked from a pinhole.Another manufacturer's 7-french sheath and 0.035-inch wire were used during the procedure.The balloon was inflated one time within a 60% occluded lesion in the knee, using another manufacturer's inflation device; however, the pressure decreased upon reaching six atmospheres.The anatomy was reportedly not tortuous or calcified.The balloon was not inflated within a stent.Blood was noted in the inflation device as the balloon pressure decreased.After the leak occurred, the balloon was allowed to return to ambient pressure; however, negative pressure was not maintained upon removal of the device, and a counter-clockwise rotation of the balloon was not conducted.The balloon was removed from the patient by itself, leaving the wire in place, and another balloon of the same type was used to complete the procedure.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.
