The angiosculpt device was used to treat a severely calcified mid lad.During inflation at 16 atm, the balloon ruptured.The procedure was completed with a different device.No patient injury reported.During the device evaluation, the balloon rupture was confirmed and a distal bond peel was observed.This product problem is being submitted conservatively because the balloon ruptured below rbp and the distal bond peeled.
