A jade balloon was used in the left superficial femoral artery (sfa) via contralateral access with a 6fr sheath.Laser atherectomy was used prior for a neointimal hyperplasia in stent restenosis.The 6.0mm jade balloon was applied post laser treatment.The balloon marker was placed at the distal end of the 6.0mm stent.When the balloon was inflated, it elongated outside of the stent.The physician opinion is that this led to a dissection in the popliteal artery.A 4.0mm jade balloon long inflation to try and resolve the dissection.(there was also a complaint related to this balloon.See csi complaint (b)(4) to follow.) a second stent was placed in the popliteal.The balloon will be returned.
