A 7 x 40 balloon was placed into right iliac artery to open up stenosis, and when the balloon was inflated it ruptured.The surgeon then had to make a larger opening to be able to remove the remains of the balloon.They were unable to use a closure device due to the size of the opening.They then held pressure for 20 mins then placed a dressing on the access site and took the patient to recovery.Once in recovery the patient began to bleed more and was taken back to the operating room.They were able to hold pressure for additional time to get the bleeding to stop and did not have to do a cut down.The patient was then taken back to recovery.Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
