Event Description
|
It was reported that a balloon rupture occurred.Vascular access was obtained via contralateral approach.The 75% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and moderately calcified right superficial femoral artery.A 6.00mmx2.0cmx135cm peripheral cutting balloon was selected for use.A plain old balloon angioplasty was performed using a non-boston scientific balloon catheter.During additional dilation by this device in the residual stenosis, it was noted that the balloon ruptured upon second inflation at 5 to 6 atmospheres for about 20 seconds.The balloon was removed without disconnection from the patient's body and the procedure was completed with another of the same device.No complications were reported and there was no patient injury.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: the device was returned for analysis.A visual examination identified that the balloon was not folded which indicates that the device was subjected to positive pressure.The rated burst pressure for this device is 10 atmospheres.The returned device was attached to an encore inflation unit.Positive pressure was applied when liquid was observed to be leaking from a balloon pinhole located approximately 11mm proximal of the distal markerband.An examination of the balloon material and markerbands identified no issues which could potentially have contributed to this complaint.A visual and microscopic examination observed no damage to the tip or blades.All blades were present and fully bonded to the balloon surface.A visual and tactile examination identified no kinks or damage to the shaft of the device.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.
