Event Description
|
As reported, the balloon of a 6/7f mynx control vascular closure device (vcd) ruptured when inflated in the vessel and was removed.Manual pressure was held for hemostasis there was no reported patient injury.The vcd was used for closure of a procedure.The device was used during a left leg popliteal atherectomy, using a retrograde approach.The deployer was certified in the use of the mynx device.The device was used with a 6f cordis sheath.The femoral artery¿s suitability was verified on angiography, including the insertion angle (30-45 degrees) of the vascular sheath introducer.The vessel diameter was verified to be greater than or equal to 5mm in diameter.There was no vessel tortuosity.There was no presence of peripheral vascular disease or calcium in the vicinity of the puncture site.The device was stored and prepped per the instructions for use (ifu).There was no prior pta, stent, or vascular graft in the common femoral artery.The balloon lost pressure after being pulled to the arteriotomy.The device is being returned for evaluation.
