Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a concentric lesion located in the mid left anterior descending (lad) artery.Pre-dilatation was performed with an unspecified balloon 2.5x15 mm at normal pressure with residual stenosis less than 40%.An implant 3.0x18 was advanced and crossed through a non-abbott stent 4.0x9 mm located in the trunk; however, when the implant was being deployed, the balloon never inflated.The implant was retracted and the balloon was noted to have a hole proximal.Another implant, 3.5x18 mm, was advanced in the vessel and deployed without any problem.The patient was returned to his room.No adverse patient effects or clinically significant delay in procedure.There was no resistance or difficulty noted while removing the protective sheaths from the device prior to use.No additional information was provided.
