It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a lesion in the proximal right coronary artery.
A 4.
5 x 12 mm nc trek rx balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced for post-dilatation of a 4.
0 x 26 mm unspecified drug-eluting stent and the balloon was inflated once to 14 atmospheres for 15 seconds.
Although the balloon appeared to deflate angiographically without issue; the bdc could not be withdrawn into the guide catheter as it appeared to be too bulky [insufficient deflation].
The bdc, wire, and guide catheter were removed as a single unit.
An angiogram was performed to complete the procedure.
There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.
No additional information was provided.
