Event Description

An attempt was made to use a euphora rx balloon catheter during a procedure to treat a lesion in the left anterior descending (lad) artery.The device was inspected with no issues noted.It was reported that the balloon detached during delivery through the vessel.The device passed through a previously-deployed stent in the obtuse marginal (om).The balloon was inflated and deflated successfully, however; there was calcium in the stent portion and it is believed that the balloon got stuck in the stent struts or calcium.The physician attempted to snare the device but the device would not move.The device was attempted to be pulled out but the detachment occurred.An attempt was made to snare the detached portion but was unsuccessful.An attempt was made to torque the detached portion but this was unsuccessful, so a non-medtronic stent was implanted to cover the detached portion.The detached portion remains in the patient.No further patient injury was reported.
