Event or Problem Description
|
|
Additional information received from the distributor indicated the device was used in a right femoropopliteal below knee anastomosis angioplasty procedure (left retrograde approach).The target lesion was approximately 3cm in length with severe stenosis.The issue occurred following the use of a competitor 4mm balloon.The 5mm balloon was used due to persistent stenosis and used for one inflation.The balloon reportedly did not burst fully and still required a syringe to fully deflate.The balloon then detached from the catheter during removal.The remaining segment required hospital admission, heparin infusion, and surgical removal the next day.The patient was recovering post removal, redo of the proximal anastomosis, and percutaneous femoral artery endarterectomy.

H3: analysis confirmed the reported issue.The balloon was returned in three segments.Segment one contained the main body of the device to include the manifold, strain relief, outer shaft, and a portion of the balloon.The second segment contained a portion of the inner shaft and the proximal marker band.The third segment was the distal portion of the balloon and device tip.Approximately 32cm of the inner shaft and distal marker band were missing.The site indicted the inner shaft adhered to the guidewire upon removal and the marker band may have also remained on the wire.A hole was observed in the third balloon segment, approximately 4cm from the distal tip and approximately 0.75cm from the proximal to the point of balloon separation.
