It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion located in the mid-left anterior descending coronary artery that was mildly calcified.
The nc trek was advanced to the lesion.
After the second inflation at 15 atmospheres (atm), the balloon only minimally deflated.
Troubleshooting to deflate the balloon was unsuccessful, so the device was removed with the sheath as a single unit.
There was no adverse patient effect or a clinically significant delay in procedure.
No additional information was provided.
