Event Description

Physician was attempting to use the evercross pta balloon during procedure to treat superficial femoral artery. A 6fr sheath and 0. 035'' guidewire were used. There was no damage noted to packaging, i. E. Shelf carton, hoop/tray and no issues noted when removing the device from the hoop/tray. The device was prepped per ifu with no issues. It was reported that the balloon burst under low pressure 5-6 atm. The balloon was dislocated completely from the shaft. The balloon couldn't be removed from the vessel, so it had to be trapped with a covered stent in the distal iliac artery. Physician stated that 'normally if i see that a balloon is destroyed, the covering is on the balloon, but in this case it was away'. No patient injury.
