Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported the procedure was to treat a 90% stenosed de novo lesion in the right external iliac artery with heavy calcification and moderate tortuosity.A non-abbott stent was implanted.For post-dilatation, the 8x40mm armada 35 balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) was advanced to the target lesion and the balloon was inflated; however, the balloon ruptured during the first inflation at approximately 10 atmospheres (atm).Therefore, the bdc was removed from the patient.The physician stated the rupture was possibly due to the previously implanted stent.A non-abbott balloon 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.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
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 to the balloon 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 previously implanted stent and/or heavily calcified anatomy resulting in the reported balloon rupture during inflation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
