Event Description

It was reported that the patient came in due to a stroke and the procedure was to treat a mildly calcified vessel in the left carotid artery. Pre-dilatation was performed with a 4. 0x40mm armada balloon without issue. Thrombectomy was performed. The 6. 0x40mm armada percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) catheter was prepared (air aspiration) outside the anatomy prior to use without any issues. There was no resistance during advancement through a telescoping catheter. However, the armada was inflated once to nominal pressure and the balloon ruptured. It was noted that when removing the balloon, there was resistance noted as the balloon would not pull back into the catheter. The balloon and catheter were then proceeded to be pulled out together. The patient had prior stents in the iliacs. There was resistance felt as the balloon was being pulled out through the iliacs and the tip separated. The tip was left in the patient free floating in the aorta around the level of the renal artery. There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure. No additional information was provided.
