It was reported that the procedure was to treat the ostial left main coronary artery with heavy calcification and mild tortuosity.Pre-dilatation was performed and an unspecified 4.0x18 mm drug eluting stent was implanted.The 4x15 mm nc trek balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was inflated to 14 atmospheres (atm) three times for post-dilatation and ruptured.There was significant resistance with the anatomy when pulling out the bdc as it was not fully deflated upon removal.After several attempts the entire system along with guidewire and guiding catheter were removed together as a unit.There were no adverse patient effects and there was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
