As reported, the 8mm10cm saber percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) balloon leaked contrast agent as the pressure pump filled the balloon to dilate the lesion.The balloon was inflated one time prior to the leak.Resistance/ friction was noted while inserting the balloon catheter through the rotating hemostatic valve and while inserting the balloon through the guide catheter.There was difficulty advancing the balloon catheter through the vessel.There was also a difficulty noted while crossing the legion with the balloon catheter.The device was removed intact from the patient.The procedure was completed with the use of a non-cordis balloon.There was no reported injury to the patient.The device was stored properly according to the instructions for use.There was no difficulty removing the product from the hoop, removing the protective balloon cover, stylet, or any of the sterile packaging components.There were no kinks or other damages noted prior to inserting the device into the patient.The device was prepped per the ifu and was able to maintain negative pressure.The lesion was noted to have moderate calcification.The vessel was noted to have moderate tortuosity.The lesion had a 50% stenosis.The device was not being used to treat a chronic total occlusion (cto).The catheter was never in an acute bend and was not kinked during use.The contrast to saline ratio was 1:1.The device will be returned for evaluation.
