Event Description
|
It was reported that the target lesion was located in the right coronary artery (rca) with moderate calcification.The 3.0 x 15 mm trek balloon was inflated 2 to 3 times to 14 atmospheres (atm) and the balloon ruptured at 14 atm.After the balloon was retracted from the anatomy, it was noted that the balloon did not refold correctly and was not completely deflated.Although the balloon was retracted from the anatomy partially inflated, no resistance was encountered.A 3.5 x 15 mm trek balloon was then selected for use, but was noted to be kinked prior to use and was not used on the patient.An unspecified balloon was used to complete the procedure.No adverse patient effects were reported.There was no clinically significant delay of procedure reported.No additional information was provided.
