It was reported via medwatch (b)(4) that a balloon rupture and dissection occurred.The patient was transported to the hospital with chest pain and st elevation myocardial infarction.The 100% stenosed target lesion with a significant bend of 45 degrees was located in the moderately tortuous and moderately calcified left anterior descending coronary artery.After one stent was implanted, the 3.00 x 38mm synergy xd was advanced to the target lesion.Upon initial inflation, the stent delivery system (sds) balloon would not inflate and when the balloon was deflated, there was evidence of blood in the indeflator consistent with a ruptured balloon.As the sds was being removed from the patient, a small dissection occurred which required a third stent to repair.There were no further patient complications reported.The patient condition was stable but they required continued observation in the hospital.
