As reported, during distal superficial femoral and popliteal artery revascularization, an advance 35 lp low profile balloon catheter leaked contrast.
The device was used for post-stenting dilation of a stenosed lesion.
The patient had no occlusion, angulation, or tortuosity.
The balloon was in position before it was inflated with 25% contrast solution using an inflation device.
Nominal pressure was not reached before the balloon started leaking.
The balloon was then deflated and removed, while another manufacturer's device was used to complete the procedure.
No portion of the device was left inside the patient.
The patient did not require any additional procedures or prolonged hospitalization.
There were no adverse effects due to this occurrence.
