It was reported that there was nothing special or difficult about the left anterior descending (lad) coronary artery with mild calcification and 75% stenosis.The lesion was stented and the 2.75 x 12 mm nc trek balloon was advanced for post-dilatation.The balloon did not inflate.The inflation device and the 3 way stopcock were replaced and again inflation was attempted but the balloon did not inflate and the device was losing pressure.When the device was removed, the balloon was noted to have a portion hanging off but it was not completely separated.A new unspecified balloon was used to complete the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects and there was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
