It was reported that balloon rupture occurred.During endovascular treatment (evt) of a chronic total occlusion (cto) lesion, a 2.0 mm x 40 mm coyote balloon catheter was advanced following guidewire passage.However, due to the highly calcified lesion, the balloon ruptured during the first inflation at 8 atmospheres.Dilatation was continued using a high-pressure (hp) balloon of the same size, followed by a 2.5 mm x 150 mm coyote balloon catheter.During the second inflation at 6 atmospheres, the second coyote balloon also ruptured.The procedure was completed using a high-pressure balloon of the same size followed by post-dilatation with a 3 mm high-pressure balloon.No patient complications were reported as a result of this event.
