Event or Problem Description
It was reported that this was a percutaneous vertebroplasty performed on nov 12, 2025.When the surgeon tried to inflate the balloon, the balloon suddenly became unable to inflate.The balloon broke when the stent was slightly inflated, and it had to be removed.The trial balloon and stent balloon were inflated at the same location, and since this was a fresh fracture, it was unlikely that hard bone was hit.Based on the location of the damage, it appears that the damage occurred when attempting to inflate the crimped stent.The surgery was completed successfully within 30mins of delay.After surgery, the damaged balloon was inflated, but damage was confirmed approximately 2 mm from the tip.No further information is available.
