It was reported that the procedure was to treat a 90% stenosed de novo lesion in the mid left anterior descending (mlad) artery with heavy calcification and mild tortuosity.For pre-dilatation, the 2.75x8mm nc trek neo balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the target lesion with resistance due to the lesion.The balloon was inflated; however, the balloon ruptured at 12 atmospheres (atm) at the first inflation.Therefore, the bdc was removed from the patient.A non-abbott balloon followed by implantation of a xience stent was used to complete the procedure.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay reported in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for evaluation.The electronic lot history record (elhr) and corrective and preventive actions (capa) reviews were performed and revealed no indication of a product quality issue.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar complaints from this lot.The investigation determined that the reported balloon rupture appears to be related to operational context.There was no leak noted during preparation, which suggests a product quality issue did not contribute to the reported difficulties.It was reported by the account that the balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) interacted with the mildly tortuous, heavily calcified and 90% stenosed lesion resulting in the reported difficulty advancing the device and subsequently the balloon became damaged and ruptured during inflation.Based on the reported information, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
