Event or Problem Description

It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a mid right coronary artery that was 95% stenosed.The 3.5x20mm rx trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the target lesion with a non-abbott guide extension.Two inflations were performed without issue, the first inflation at 16 atmospheres (atm) for 14 seconds, and the second inflation at 12 atms for 8 seconds.The balloon was then fully deflated without issue.A slight resistance was felt during retrieval of the bdc.The physician was not sure what the bdc had resistance with.It was then observed under flouroscopy that the shaft was coming back without the balloon.Therefore, the guide extension was advanced over the balloon to be pull everything out as a single unit.The detached balloon was never loose in the patient and was retrieved through the guide extension.The procedure ended at this point as the target lesion was treated.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
