Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the procedure was performed to treat a lesion in the left main.Dilatation was performed at 8 atmospheres with a 4.5x15mm trek rx balloon dilatation catheter (bdc); however, during removal the bdc would not go back through the guiding catheter.The guiding catheter, guide, and bdc were pulled into the aorta and removed from the anatomy, except it was noted that the balloon separated from the delivery catheter and released into the circulation.The balloon is free floating as it could not be located.There are no neurological symptoms; therefore, the balloon did not migrate to the head.The patient is in good condition.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Visual and function inspection was performed on the returned device.The reported separation was confirmed.The reported difficulty removing the device from the guiding catheter could not be confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other incidents and/or complaints from this lot.A cine was received and reviewed by an abbott vascular clinical specialist.The reviewer concluded that the videos provided for review did not contain any images of the reported balloon failure.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the reported difficulty removing the device; however, the reported separation appears to be related to operational context.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
