One nc sprinter balloon catheter was attempted to be used during a procedure to treat a mildly tortuous, mildly calcified lesion with 90% stenosis in the mid right coronary artery (rca).The device was being used to post-dilate a deployed stent.The device was not inspected prior to use.Negative prep was performed with no issues noted.The lesion was not pre-dilated.The device did pass through a previously deployed stent.Resistance was not encountered when advancing the device but excessive force was not used.It was reported that a balloon burst occurred at 16 atms.It was stated that the balloon was found to be burst laterally and was laterally cut from the back of the balloon cap, with the balloon remaining in the patient.A thrombus-like reside was noted on the image.The balloon body was removed from the patient using a suction catheter with negative pressure.No further patient injury reported.
