It was reported that blade separation, balloon rupture and bleeding occurred.
The 75% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and non-calcified antebrachium.
A 5.
00mm/2.
0cm/50cm peripheral cutting balloon was selected for use.
During the procedure, five of the antebrachium sites were dilated from distal to nominal.
However, it was not fully dilated, therefore, it was dilated at 10atm.
The remaining three sites were dilated at 10atm, however it was noted that the balloon ruptured at 4atm in the proximal lesion.
A blade separation was confirmed via echo.
The blade fragment was confirmed near the sheath.
Another 6fr sheath was placed on the peripheral side, and biopsy forceps were used to catch and recover it in the sheath under echo.
The sheath was pulled out and bleeding has stopped.
All the blades have been removed and no fragment remains inside the patient.
The procedure was completed with the original device.
No further patient complications were reported.
