Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the procedure was to treat a lesion in the distal superficial femoral artery.A 5french (f) sheath and.014 guide wire was advanced.The 7.0x60mm armada 35 balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was inflated once at nominal pressure and was being removed when resistance was noted on the 5f sheath but was removed independently.Another same size armada bdc was inflated once at nominal; however, the same issue occurred during removal with the 5f sheath but also removed independently.The physician thought switching the guide wire to.035 would aid in the removal but had the same resistance.A non-abbott balloon was used with the same sheath and guide wire for post dilatation and completed the procedure.There was no adverse patient effect and there was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
