According to the reporter, while removing the 8-mm balloon after doing an upper arm stenosis wherein the lesion was effaced, resistance was noted.The physician continued to pull (excessive force was not applied) and the balloon broke off at the proximal end of the third port infusion site just proximal to the balloon.It was stated that half of the device was in the physician's hands and the other half was stuck in the 6f medical sheath (from a competitor's) used.It was also stated that occlusion was felt while pulling the balloon through the 6f sheath.It was also noted that the physician initially utilized a 5-mm balloon for a juxta anastomosis which was successful.There was nothing unusual observed on the device prior to use.The catheter was not repaired, there was no leak, and no luer adapter issue.The insertion site was treated prior to product placement.It was noted that flushing was performed prior to insertion, and the balloon and the third port worked properly.There was no patient injury.
