As reported, 4.
5fr sheath was inserted into the thrombotic occlusive lesion existing from the right popliteal artery to the posterior tibial artery.
A right femoral artery approach was used.
There was no angulation or vessel calcification noted.
After passing through a 0.
014inch wire guide, the physician dilated the lesion with the reported advance 14 lp low profile balloon catheter (2mm × 20mm).
For sizing-up of the balloon catheter, the physician tried to pull the reported balloon out of the sheath, but the balloon catheter was unable to be pulled out of the sheath.
Therefore, the sheath and the reported balloon catheter were removed together.
After that, a new 4.
5 fr sheath was inserted into the patient, and the physician used 2 advance14lp which were bigger sizes than the reported balloon catheter and dilated the lesion.
The 2 advance14lp were removed from the patient's body without any problems.
The procedure was completed without any problems.
No adverse effects were reported due to this occurrence.
