It was reported that the procedure was to treat a 90% stenosed, mildly calcified, and mildly tortuous de novo lesion in the left anterior descending artery.
A 3.
00mm x 8mm nc trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced for post-dilatation; however, the balloon failed to inflate and a leak at the proximal shaft was noted.
The balloon was removed and a new 3.
00mm x 8mm nc trek bdc was used to successfully complete the procedure.
There were no adverse patient effects reported and no significant delay in the procedure reported.
No additional information was provided.
