It was reported to boston scientific corporation (bsc) that a cre pulmonary dilatation catheter was used in the larynx during a procedure performed on (b)(6) 2021.The narrow airway tree was dilated by endoscope, and the positioning of the balloon at the narrow point provided a visual reference point.It was reported that when the larynx was dilated by the balloon during treatment, the balloon leaked after the first dilatation.An alliance syringe was then used to deflate the balloon; however, a sound was heard from the syringe which frightened and caused anxiety to the (b)(6) month-old patient.The procedure was completed with another cre pulmonary device.In the physician's assessment, there was no serious injury, and no treatment was needed for the patient effects.The patient's current condition was reported to be stable.
