It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a de novo lesion in the heavily calcified, moderately tortuous, 80% stenosed left anterior descending coronary artery.
During prep, saline was noted to be leaking from the hub of a 2.
5x15mm trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc).
The device was not used, and there was no patient involvement.
A non-abbott balloon was used to successfully complete the procedure.
There were no adverse patient effects, and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.
No additional information was provided.
