It was reported that there was bleeding and slit on sheath.
Vascular access was obtained via ipsilateral approach.
The 95% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately calcified popliteal artery.
A 6.
00mm/ 2.
0cm/ 90cm peripheral cutting balloon was selected for use.
During procedure, the device was advanced after a guidewire passed through.
However, the device had difficulty in crossing the lesion thus pre-dilation was performed with cob.
The device was delivered again and dilatation was performed repeatedly for several times.
Subsequently, bleeding was observed in the subcutaneous femoral when the sheath was removed.
The blade of the balloon slit the sheath over its entire length in one direction causing the blood leaked.
The bleeding was arrested by astriction.
Per physician's opinion, the bleeding was caused by the balloon blade.
The procedure was completed with this device.
No further complications reported and patient was stable post procedure.
