Event or Problem Description

It was reported that the balloon failed to deflate.The target lesion was located in the very distal right anterior tibial artery.A 2mm x 40mm x 144cm coyote es balloon catheter was selected for angiogram with intervention.However, it was noted that the balloon showed a dark contrast when inflated and had difficulty deflating.Multiple attempts were made to burp the in deflator and using a 3cc syringe to add additional pressure to decompress the balloon.After several attempts for 5-7 minutes.The balloon finally deflated after manually milking it.Angiogram revealed no damage to vessel and positive results from the balloon.The procedure was completed with this device.There were no patient complications as a result of this event, and the patient fully recovered post-procedure.
