It was reported that the procedure was to treat an unspecified artery.
The 3.
0x15mm xience pros stent was successfully implanted with no resistance during advancement.
However, during implantation, it was noted that the pressure in the balloon which was inflated once with a pressure of 14 atmospheres (atms) was not maintained during dilatation.
The stent was post dilated with a nc balloon because of the unsafe expansion of the stent and the inflation pressure during stent implantation that was not safely maintained.
After removal of the balloon and upon inspection, it was noticed that there was a small hole from which the contrast medium could escape.
The device was not prepped (air aspiration) outside the anatomy prior to use.
There was no reported adverse patient effect and there was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.
No additional information are required.
