Event Description
|
After multiple devices and balloons failed to expand the lesion, an angiosculpt device was forcefully advanced sequentially and inflated approximately 15 times in an (b)(6) severely tortuous and calcified lad.After the final inflation, retrieval attempts led to the deflated balloon being punctured and snared on a proximal calcified area of the lesion.Numerous attempts to dislodge the angiosculpt device resulted in separation from its shaft.The stable patient was sent for surgical removal of snared distal end of angiosculpt.Additional information received on 02/09/2015: surgery went well, the angiosculpt device was removed from the patient.
