It was reported that deflation issue occurred.The 80% stenosed target lesion was located in the mildly tortuous and mildly calcified arteriovenous fistula.A 9.0 x 40, 75cm mustang balloon catheter was advanced for dilation.However, during the procedure, the balloon was inflated until 17 atmospheres using a non-boston scientific (bsc) device with a ratio of three to seven; however, when used for re-insertion, the balloon did not fully deflate and was noted to be damaged.The physician deflated the balloon first and removed through a sheath, and eventually, the balloon was removed as normal at around 1 minute in a deflated state.The procedure was completed with this device and no patient complications were reported.
