It was reported that the procedure was to treat a 75% stenosed de novo lesion in the distal left circumflex (dlcx) artery.Prior to use the 2.25x15mm trek rx balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was soaked in saline and the bdc was prepped (air aspiration) outside the anatomy.There was no resistance noted when removing the protective sheath.The bdc was advanced to the target lesion and the balloon was inflated; however, a rupture occurred during the first inflation at 8 atmospheres (atm).Therefore, the bdc was removed from the patient.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay reported in the procedure.A non-abbott balloon was used to continue pre-dilatation, followed by stent implantation and post dilatation.No additional information was provided.
