Event Description
|
It was reported that balloon rupture, stent inadequate apposition, and vessel dissection occurred.The target lesion was located in the left common iliac vessel.Following pre-dilatation with an 8x40 balloon, a 10.0x30x75cm express ld iliac / biliary stent was advanced for treatment.However, upon inflating the balloon inside the stent, the balloon ruptured.The balloon was pulled out.The stent was noted to be dog-boned, which could not fully inflate the stent.Another non-bsc balloon was used to post dilate the stent.There was a slight dissection noted from the common iliac towards the aorta and the physician post dilated it again with the non-bsc balloon.No further patient complications were reported and the patient did good.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr.: the device was returned with the stent detached from the balloon.The stent was not returned for analysis as it was deployed during the procedure.Blood was identified in the balloon which is indicative of a leak.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the balloon was subjected to positive pressure.The returned device was attached to an encore inflation unit and positive pressure was applied in an attempt to inflate the balloon and liquid was observed to be leaking from a balloon pinhole 5mm distal of the proximal markerband.An examination of the balloon material and markerbands identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.The rated burst pressure for this device is 12 atmospheres.A visual and microscopic examination identified no issues with the tip of the device during analysis that could have contributed to the complaint incident.A visual and tactile examination identified no issues with the shaft that could potentially have contributed to the complaint incident.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
