It was reported that the procedure was to treat a de novo, 90% stenosed lesion in the moderately calcified, mildly tortuous mid right coronary artery (mrca).
An unspecified guide wire crossed and pre-dilatation was performed with a 4.
0x12 mm nc trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc); however, the balloon ruptured at 8 atmospheres.
There was resistance noted, likely with the lesion, during advancement.
The bdc was removed without resistance and the rupture was confirmed outside the anatomy.
A non-abbott bdc was used to continue pre-dilatation and a 4.
0x12 mm xience skypoint stent was deployed.
Post dilatation was performed with a 4.
5x8 mm nc trek bdc.
There were no adverse patient effects and there was no reported clinically significant delay in the procedure.
No additional information was provided.
