It was reported that the procedure was to treat a moderately calcified, heavily tortuous, de novo lesion in the left anterior descending (lad) artery.After stent deployment, a 2.75x12mm nc trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced for post-dilatation but could not cross the lesion and the shaft of the bdc broke in 2 pieces.The device was removed without reported issue.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.Another nc trek bdc was used to successfully complete the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Event Description

Subsequent to the initial filed report, additional information was reported.The shaft separated outside the patient anatomy.No additional information was provided.
