It was reported that the procedure was to treat a chronic total occlusion of the peroneal artery with heavy calcification and moderate tortuosity.The 2.5x200mm armada 14 balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was used over a hi-torque (ht) command 14 guide wire and to ensure the wire was advancing intraluminally, the guide wire was removed and the balloon was injected with contrast.Upon inflating the balloon, a leak at the hub was noted with the pressure declining.An armada 18 balloon was used to complete the procedure.There was no reported adverse patient effect and there was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
