It was reported that the procedure was to treat a 90% stenosed lesion in the iliac artery with heavy calcification and mild tortuosity.The 8x60mm armada 35 balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the target lesion with a supra core guide wire; however, when the balloon was inflated once to nominal pressure a rupture occurred.Therefore, the bdc was removed from the patient.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay reported in the procedure.An 8x40mm armada balloon was used in the procedure, followed by implantation of an 8x80mm absolute pro stent.No additional information was provided.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Visual analysis was performed on the returned device.The reported balloon rupture was confirmed.The production record 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 the reported balloon rupture appear 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.In this case, it is likely that the balloon interacted with the heavily calcified anatomy such that the balloon became damaged and subsequently ruptured during inflation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
