It was reported that the procedure was to treat a 95% stenosed lesion in the brachial artery with heavy calcification and mild tortuosity.The 6x20mm armada balloon dilation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the target lesion with resistance due to the anatomy.The balloon was inflated; however, the balloon ruptured during the first inflation at 6 atmospheres (atm).Therefore, the bdc was removed from the patient.A non-abbott balloon was used to continue the procedure.There was no adverse patient effect and no clinically significant delay reported in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
