Event Description
|
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion in the mid common iliac artery with mild tortuosity, mild calcification and 90% stenosis.A 7x59mm omnilink elite over the wire (otw) stent system was prepped outside the anatomy prior to use, the elite was inserted through the sheath and advanced toward the target lesion.An attempt was made to inflate the balloon three times but the balloon did not inflate.The stent was not deployed.Upon removal of the device from the patient anatomy, the elite was inspected, flushed and a hole was noted in the balloon between the tip and proximal part of the stent.Another elite stent was used to successfully complete the procedure.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
