The device was not returned for analysis.Production record and corrective and preventative 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.Based on the information received, 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.In this case, it is likely that the balloon interacted with the mildly calcified and mildly tortuous 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.

It was reported that the procedure was to treat a 90% stenosed de novo lesion in the distal right coronary artery (drca) with mild calcification and mild tortuosity.For pre-dilation the 2x20mm mini trek balloon dilation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the target lesion; however, the balloon ruptured after 5 seconds at 8 atmospheres (atm).Therefore, the bdc was removed from the patient.Rotablation and additional ballooning 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.
