It was reported that balloon pinhole occurred.Vascular access was obtained via femoral vein.The stenosed target lesion was located in the left iliac vein.A 12.0 x 60, 135cm mustang balloon catheter was advanced for dilation, however, the balloon did not inflate when it reaches 4 to 6 atmospheres (atm).The pressure was and the device removed.When the physician tried to inflate the balloon at 6 atm outside the patient, liquid leaked at the connection part between the balloon and the marker and a pinhole was noted on the balloon material.The procedure was completed with another of the same device.No patient complications were reported and the patient status was stable.
