As reported, the balloon of a 6mm x 4cm 155cm saberx percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) balloon catheter ruptured before reaching its nominal burst pressure (nbp) during an inflation of a severely calcified superficial femoral artery (sfa) lesion.
As a result, the 6mm x 4cm 155cm saberx pta balloon catheter was removed, and a non-cordis balloon catheter was used to complete the procedure.
There was no reported injury to the patient.
Additional information was requested but was not provided and the device was discarded and will not be returned.
