A shockwave m5+ peripheral intravascular lithotripsy (ivl) catheter was used to treat a lesion in the iliac artery.The physician successfully treated the left iliac artery with 150 pulses.The device was removed from the sheath and reintroduced through the second sheath on the patient's right side, and 150 pulses were delivered in the right iliac artery.Following ivl treatment, the ivl balloon was unable to deflate completely, remaining partially inflated in the patient's iliac.The physician was not able to remove the device through the sheath, therefore, the introducer sheath and ivl catheter had to be removed together.All device components were successfully removed from the patient.Due to risk for enlargement of the initial puncture point in the femoral following removal of the ivl catheter, an 11f introducer was placed for femoral sealing and continuation of the initial procedure.At the end of the procedure, it was necessary to apply proglides and a safeguard dressing due to the increased risk of bleeding.
