Additional information: the lesion was moderately calcified.The device was inflated using a syringe with no issues noted.Evaluation summary: the device returned, with guide catheter and a non-medtronic snare device.A detachment was evident on the catheter shaft approx.67cm distal to the strain relief, and proximal to the balloon bond.The catheter shaft material was stretched, jagged and uneven on both sides of the detachment site.The distal detached portion of the device and balloon were loaded in the guide catheter.The guide catheter tip was folded inwards.The distal detached portion of the device was removed from the guide catheter, along with the snare.Congealed blood and residue was visible on the balloon material.The balloon appeared to be fully deflated.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
