"deflating the balloon catheter deflate the balloon using an inflation device.Since deflation times vary based on balloon sizes and shaft lengths, check fluoroscopically to confirm deflation before attempting to withdraw.1.Attach the inflation device (eagle¿ inflation device) to the balloon catheter and remove the solution from the balloon by pulling back on the inflation device.2.Remove the inflation device from the balloon catheter.This will allow ambient pressure to enter, relaxing the balloon.3.Gently withdraw the catheter.Use of a gentle counterclockwise twisting motion is recommended when removing the catheter."
