One euphora rx balloon catheter was attempted to be used to pre-dilate a mildly tortuous, moderately calcified lesion with 90% stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending (lad) artery.The device was inspected with no issues noted.Negative prep was performed with no issues noted.The device did not pass through a previously deployed stent.Resistance was not encountered when advancing the device and excessive force was not used.The balloon was inflated to nominal pressure without exceeding the rated burst pressure (rbp).It was reported that the balloon failed to deflate at the lesion site after pre-dilating the lesion.The balloon was able tobe removed over the wire through the guide catheter and out of the sheath without any issues.No patient injury reported.
