The procedure was to treat a lesion in the right coronary artery (rca).For pre-dilatation, a 4.0x15mm nc trek neo balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was used; however, the balloon ruptured at 15 atmospheres (atm) during the first inflation.Therefore, the bdc was removed from the patient and a dissection was noted.Therefore, a 4.0x33mm xience stent was implanted without issue to treat the dissection.Then, a 4.5x12mm nc trek neo bdc was used for post dilatation; however, the balloon ruptured at 18 atm.The 4.5x12mm nc trek neo was removed from the patient and another same size nc trek neo balloon was used to complete the procedure.There was no adverse patient sequela.No additional information was provided.
