An attempt was made to use a nc euphora balloon.There was no damage noted to the device packaging.There were no issues noted when removing the device from the protective hoop.The device was inspected with no issues noted.Negative prep was performed with no issues.Resistance was encountered when advancing the device.It was reported that the device failed to cross the lesion and the catheter was deformed with a kink.It was also reported that the physician was able to advance the balloon through a non mdt 6fr extension guide catheter and over a non-mdt wire up to the 2nd marker band, the balloon was then unable to advance any longer and the guide kept backing out of the vessel.All the devices were removed to get a new guide for better engagement and when everything was pulled out, the balloon catheter was noted to be broken in two.All the device parts remained in the guide catheter, therefore no intervention was required to remove the device.The patient is alive with no injury.
