It was reported the procedure was to treat a 90% stenosed de novo lesion in the left anterior descending (lad) artery with moderate calcification and moderate tortuosity.For pre-dilatation, the 3.25x12mm nc trek neo 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 second inflation at 8 atmospheres (atm).Therefore, the bdc was removed from the patient.Another nc trek bdc 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.

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 query of the complaint handling database for the reported lot revealed there is no indication of a lot specific issue.Based on the information received, the investigation determined that the reported complaints appear to be related to operational context.There was no leak noted to the balloon during preparation or during the first inflation, which suggests a product quality issue did not contribute to the reported difficulties.It was reported by the account that the balloon dilatation catheter (bdc) interacted with the moderately calcified anatomy resulting in the reported difficulty advancing the device and subsequently the balloon ruptured during the second inflation.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.
