It was reported that a blade detached and remained in the patient's body.The 99% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and moderately calcified superficial femoral artery (sfa).A 4.0mm x 15mm wolverine peripheral cutting balloon was selected for use.During the procedure, the blade was damaged, and it is possible that a blade part was left in the lesion area.Since it was suspected that the fragment might have been embedded in the lesion, an eluvia 7 mm was placed at the site and the procedure was completed.No patient complications were reported.
