As reported, an advance 18 lp low profile balloon catheter ruptured.
The target location was the left superficial femoral artery.
An inflation device was used to inflate the balloon twice before rupturing on the second inflation to nominal pressure.
The device was removed from the patient, and the procedure was completed with a new balloon.
There was no delay in treatment.
It was initially reported that no stent was used during the procedure, but information was later received that the balloon was inflated inside of a stent prior to the rupture.
Clarification has been requested.
A section of the device did not remain inside the patient.
The patient did not require any additional procedures due to the occurrence.
According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects.
