Additional information was received 20jul2020.An unspecified cook 7 french sheath and unknown inflation device were used during the procedure.The balloon is believed to have ruptured longitudinally.The anatomy was not tortuous or angulated; however, the lesion, which extended from the left iliac to popliteal arteries, was reported to be highly calcified.After rupture, the balloon was removed from the sheath.There was no blood noted in the inflation device.
